Why not join "Men on the Move" this Autumn?
Are you aged 30+,male and not very physically active? Do you want to feel fitter, have fun, have more energy and meet new people? If you do why not get involved in the Men on the Move at the nearest location to you in Mayo. See below for full details.
Men on the Move is an activity programme which is aimed at men aged 30 and over to get them active, have fun and improve fitness levels. It involves weekly/twice weekly activity sessions which are leader led. You don't need to be fit to take part- the training sessions are structured so that you can find the level appropriate for you to join and progress your fitness at a pace to suit you! First established in 2012 in 3 areas, Men on the Move has now grown to 10 locations across Mayo. Indeed Men on the Move has extended to other counties including Galway, Clare, Donegal, Westmeath, Meath and Waterford.
The programme is a joint initiative by Mayo Sports Partnership and HSE West. It is also Supported by Croí, Mid West Radio, Local Athletic Clubs, Family Resource Centres and Mens Sheds Groups.
How can I get involved? A number of information meetings are taking place at 10 locations across the county on the week beginning 6th October . See below list of meetings with details of venue, date, time and leader. Select the venue nearest you and come along and get your body mass index measured, obtain information on healthy eating / exercise and sign up to an 8 week activity programme.
To register your interest contact Mayo Sports Partnership on 094 9047025 or Text your name and what venue you are attending to the leader for each area. Please note that after an initial taster class there will be a small cost per session to cover costs / overheads. New areas such as Achill and Swinford will however have their initial 8 week programme subsidised from the Sports Partnership and the HSE. Why not give it a go!
