Y8 Melmania Enrichment - Fitness for Fun!

Fitness coach, Melvin Brewley, spoke to Year 8 students about the importance of fitness and staying active. 

According the NHS, young people should aim for an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate physical activity a day across the week. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/physical-activity-guidelines-children-and-young-people/

Some handy tips for having fun while staying active:

• Add some entertainment - You could create a playlist you love or listen to a podcast.
• Make it a game - Set yourself with a challenge and hit your targets.
• Ask others to join you - Studies have shown that we're mostly happier excercising with friends and family.
