· 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 timetable of Information Evenings below)

What is Men on the Move?
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!

Who's Involved?
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.

What To Wear
Tracksuit or jogging bottoms and a t-shirt or sweatshirt are best, jeans are not comfortable to train in and they are really uncomfortable when wet.-Wear Layers - It may be cold some nights but you will warm quickly so a couple of layers are much easier than one big jumper.-Waterproofs - bring lightweight waterproof top and bottoms.-Please wear trainers to all sessions.

Get Active!
The benefits of being active for physical and mental health are huge. Being active helps release chemicals in your brain (endorphins), which have a positive effect on your mood, not to mention the benefits to your heart, lungs, muscles and bones. Being active is also a great way to manage stress.

How can I get involved?
A number of information meetings are taking place at 8 locations across the county on the week beginning 30th Sept . See attached table 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 (see attached). Why not give it a go!

Is there any cost?
The aim of the initiative is to encourage men to take part in physical activity under the guidance of a qualified professional. For established areas after the initial taster week which will be free participants will be asked to pay a nominal fee. For new areas such as Ballinrobe, Ballyhaunis and Manulla the initial 8 week programme will be subsidized. Participants on the programme will receive weekly supervised sessions, Body Mass Index monitoring, Nutrition Workshop and information logbooks.

Physical Activity for Everyone
Regular physical activity can help you reduce the risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Increased levels of physical activity will help reduce body fat and maintain a healthy weight.

How Active Should I be?
Regular physical activity actually gives you more energy and helps you to relax. Being active is fun for all the family. Research show that children whose parents are active are more than 5 times as likely to be active than those whose parents are not.
Adults should aim to do at least 30 minutes moderate intensity activity 5 days a week. Short bouts of at least 10 minutes can be accumulated.
