We all know the benefits of being fit. Better heart health, stronger muscles, more energy, weight control, improved mental health and the ability to live independently in later life.
Although we all know this, it’s not always easy to get started, especially when you have a busy life, caring for a family, holding down a job and juggling everything life throws at you. If you haven’t exercised on a regular basis for a long time, the thought of joining the gym or a running club can seem very intimidating. That’s where the Activate You programme from 261 Fearless comes in. They know what life is like for women trying to be everything to everyone and they have tailored a programme just for you.
Devised by the founders of 261 Fearless, a global social running network for women, Activate You is a three month programme to help you kick start some healthy habits and help you incorporate exercise into your daily routine. You don’t have to be fit already or exercising when you start; you just need the desire, some comfortable clothing and a little time each day to invest in yourself.
Think of the Activate You programme as an exciting advent calendar. Each day you open the calendar, you reveal a task to complete that will take you one step closer to being fitter. It’s the ideal beginner’s training programme for your mind and body. You work at your own pace, it’s pressure free and you can workout at home without feeling overwhelmed.
You don’t need any equipment or lots of space, just a little get-up-and-go. For additional support, you can join the Activate You closed Facebook group to meet friends, swap experiences, or you can even join live exercise classes. And in no time at all you’ll be having fun discovering exercise and if you wish, even try running or classes at your gym. The experts will be on hand to give you any guidance you need, and you’ll be able to keep a record of your achievements in the online journal.
It’s a 12 week programme of daily exercise tasks and you decide when to fit them into your daily routine. The daily tasks start at around 3-10 minutes per day and increase gradually each week until at the end of the 12 week programme, when you can complete a 45 minute workout. By then, you’ll be confident to exercise 5 times a week.
The programme is motivating, simple and progresses over the weeks. Each week has a theme chosen to help you build your exercise routine. You can track your personal exercise goals and achievements in your online Activate You Journal.
You don’t need equipment, just some comfortable sports clothes and trainers.
Before you know it, exercise will have become a habit and you will be feeling so much better for it. It’s never too late to start to incorporate exercise into your life and reap the health benefits in the future.
The 12 week 261 Fearless Activate You programme costs less than £1.00 per day, a small price to pay for improved health and fitness. What’s more, 261 Fearless is offering a FREE 7-day trial, so you can join the Activate You programme completely risk-free.
261 Fearless is a global non-profit organization that uses running as a vehicle to empower and unite women through education programmes, local women-only 261 Running Clubs and social events. 261 Fearless is co-founded by Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to officially run and finish the Boston Marathon, and Edith Zuschmann, a nationally ranked swimmer-turned-distance runner.
