Here's a fact that might surprise you. According to the British Heart Foundation the biggest factor leading to heart disease isn't obesity, smoking or diet; in fact it's a lack of physical activity.
Alarmingly, nearly nine out of ten children fail to engage in the minimum amount of physical activity recommended by the government to avoid long-term health problems.
However, just half an hour of exercise a day could transform the health of children not just now but well into their adult lives.
That’s why we have launched our new junior health and fitness programme, expressions PUMP.
PUMP offers children and young adults the opportunity to take part in exciting group based fitness activities, helping them to keep fit and have fun at the same time!
Although we don't run any PUMP activities at Backwell Leisure Centre, our partner site Scotch Horn Leisure Centre offers junior gym and swimming sessions 7 days a week. Please contact them on 01275 856965.
