National Fitness Day - 21st September 2022
Physical activity and its positive impact on a person’s mental well-being has long been established. At Accomplish, we encourage people to be as active as possible and take part in the pastimes and activities they enjoy – as well as trying new things.
This National Fitness Day we celebrate all the different ways the people we support enjoy being physically active – and the massive benefits they experience as a result.
Darren, who is supported at Ty Arfryn, is a prime example of a person who thrives on keeping active and can vouch for the positive impact it has on his physical and mental health. As well as being a regular visitor to his local gym he can also often be found cycling and even surfing. In fact, he chose Ty Arfryn as a place to live as it was next door to the gym! And honing his surfing skills didn’t just prove to be a fun hobby for Darren, it helped him regain his balance after suffering a brain injury.
He said: “I enjoy going to the gym and fitness and it being next door has been really motivating for me. There’s also good walks all around, which is good. I go out on my bike and surf – it’s all helping me regain my fitness.”
Elsewhere around Accomplish physical activity is also reaping rewards for Neil*. Neil is supported in a supported living service and, with his team’s support, has been swimming and through following a healthy diet reached his target weight having lost six stone. He is now able to be far more active and enjoys physical activity.
Roland, who is supported by Cornwall Supported Living, has also been enjoying swimming in the open water. Chilly but fun!
Other physical activities enjoyed across the Group include walking (hills and mountains being a particular favourite – including Snowdon!), climbing, sailing, kayaking, go karting and many, many more.
Some people prefer to work out within their service with some homes having their own gyms, or fitness experts visiting to support people to get fit in the comfort of their own home. People’s choices are absolutely respected and enabled wherever possible.
Whatever the location of the activity, what is clear are the benefits they bring to the people we support. Physical activity and getting fit helps us learn or hone new skills. It’s proven to enhance mood and improve confidence. We feel physically better and often, as a result, more capable. And, most importantly of all, it can help us have fun and achieve goals.
