Operation Transformation 2021 is underway in Mayo within Covid restrictions

Operation Transformation is back and just when it is needed like never before.

It may be a little bit different this year, but we are still promoting the same message – ‘Get up, Get Out, Get Active’.

Mayo Sports Partnership has a six-week programme suitable for any beginner new to exercise or just looking to try something new.

They have included introduction sessions to yoga, pilates, strength and conditioning and some talks on nutrition and mindfulness as well as some tips on better and different walking techniques.

Along with this programme, the partnership has a walking challenge with a difference!

Weekly challenges are set in conjunction with the weekly activity which will total 120 kilometres at the end of the six weeks.

There are also a number of easy-to-follow fitness tests which you can do yourself, both before and after the six-week challenge.

Why not get the year started on a gentle note and build a routine that you can sustain for 2021.
