Get active with Men on the Move
Male aged 30 plus?
Stressed with everything that’s happening at the moment?
Thinking about getting more active? Want to improve your overall health and wellbeing?
Mayo Sports Partnership, in collaboration with HSE West, Sport Ireland and local community groups and clubs, are offering a new supervised, socially distanced Men on the Move programme for men aged 30+ over the coming weeks in 10 locations across the county.
Locations include Aughamore, Ballinrobe, Ballaghaderreen, Ballina, Ballyhaunis, Castlebar, Claremorris, Bangor Erris, Kiltimagh and Westport.
The importance of being active and positive mental health has never been as important as now.
Mayo Sports Partnership head Charlie Lambert outlined: “Men like to do things with their peers and Men on the Move allows men to exercise with guys of their own age and ability levels. Of course, a bit of banter and craic is allowed even with Covid-19 protocols in place.”
Men on the Move is a beginner physical activity programme that is aimed at adult men to get them active, have fun and improve their fitness levels.
It involves:
*Weekly physical activity sessions over 8 weeks that are led by a qualified instructor to meet your needs.
*Structured physical activity sessions so that you can find a level and pace that suits you.
A national award-winning programme in both the Local Authority and Chambers Ireland best health and wellbeing initiative, Men on the Move was originally piloted in Mayo during 2012 and is now a nationally recognised men’s health programme.
Please note that due to Covid-19 restrictions all groups are limited to 15 participants. To book your place, phone the contact number for your area in advance (see advertisement).
Unfortunately, if you show up without booking a place may not be guaranteed.
