Why Shape Up Notts!

Why does Notts need to Shape Up?

Only 1 in 5 of us is doing enough exercise, and half of Nottinghamshire's adult population do no exercise at all!

The Chief Medical Officer recommends taking part in 5 x 30 minutes a week of moderate intensity sport and physical activity to benefit your health. However, we recognise that this isn't always possible so adding just 30 minutes more activity could be your first step to a healthier, active and successful lifestyle. You can use our find a club and find a facility tools to locate sport and physical activity opportunities near you.

Being active will benefit you:
  • Better body shape and appearance
  • Better health, including a reduced risk of heart disease and some cancers
  • More energy
  • Improved sleep
  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Better concentration
  • A sense of achievement
  • Enjoyment, activity can be great fun and something you can do as a family or with friends
Being active helps to prevent or manage:
  • Heart disease (including angina and stroke)
  • Weight (and body fat)
  • High blood pressure
  • Depression and sleep related issues
