Get more active this summer
When it comes to an exercise regime, are you forever saying: “I’ll start it on Monday!” but never actually start? When it comes down to your wellbeing, the long term effects of exercise may be surprising.
Women's Sports Network and the UK’s leading breast cancer research charity, Breakthrough Breast Cancer, are teaming up to support ACTIVEMapX in pursuit to get more women active and promote the wider concept of 'wellness' for women and girls in the UK.
This comes after results show being active for just 30 minutes a day can reduce your chance of getting breast cancer by 20%. Over 50,000 of women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year, making it the most common form of cancer in women.
With over 20,000 locations, events and classes for women and girls to get active in their local community, there is no excuse to not work up a sweat and be on the right track to getting fit with ACTIVEMapX.
ACTIVEMapX have a list of free activities, including Hockey and Netball to help yourself, and Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity, to support other women to a healthier lifestyle.
ACTIVEMapX users can help to spread the message and to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer in a number of ways:
- Use ACTIVEMapX to get you and your friends/family more active
- ACTIVEMapX is free to use, so you could afford to set up a monthly donation of £10 to Breakthrough Breast Cancer
- Run a monthly charity class, where all participants pay an £2 extra donation to Breakthrough Breast Cancer
- Promote Breakthrough Breast Cancer’s charity runs, cycles and triathlons to your classes
