A local Olympian has developed a new programme aimed at improving physical activity in Kirkby. Tom Bosworth MBE, is a 2 x British race walker and holds 3 World records, has won 21 British Championships, Commonwealtg Games Silver Medalist and 6 x British record holder.
Walking with Purpose - a10-week programme that aims to support patients to gain the benefits of regular activity such as improving fitness, mental health, and strengthening muscles in a steady and guided manner.
Each participant will complete a short amount of activity each day, such as fifteen minutes walking around the house, garden or local green space. With Tom’s support participants can adapt the activity based on what they are comfortable with to ensure the programme is tailored to the individual and caters for varying levels of fitness.
Over the10 weeks, participants will record their daily activity, whether that be number of repetitions, time spent on their feet or number of steps, and how they feel at the end of each session.
