Keep Fit

I have had a personal trainer for 3 years now and he is a star. Exercise really lifts my mood but my financial circumstances have changed and I can no longer afford him. Anybody here know anything about GP exercise referrals? TIA

Hello @coylygirl
This NHS website has information if you scroll down to the 'Exercise on prescription' section. While I know in 'ordinary times' many local councils run various free exercise programmes such as a walking or couch to 5k group.
Are you managing to get out for a daily walk? I try to and find putting on my headphones to listen to a music or podcast helps me get motivated. Good for you for wanting to keep it upOnline Community Co-ordinator

Thanks Cher, I haven't been walking as I can't leave the house on my own, but I have posted on my village fb page asking for volunteers for socially distanced walks. Getting a good response xx

Hi @coylygirl,
How are you? I am really pleased that you are getting a good response for socially distanced walks, what a great idea, and I hope that the information @Cher_Scope has shared is useful. Exercise is great and I agree, it has a really positive impact on our emotional and mental wellbeing. This is vitally important, particularly in the difficult circumstances we currently find ourselves in. Thank you. -
Hi WestHam, thank you so much for this; Due to my condition I can't currently leave the house alone, sou will be great to have walking companions x
