Why you should lose weight
Maintaining a healthy weight isn’t just good for your physical health, it plays a vital part in your mental well-being too. If you’re overweight, you’re more likely to suffer medical conditions such as Coronary heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, Coronary heart disease and certain cancers, including breast and bowel. You also more likely to suffer a stroke and a heart attack than others of the same age. There is strong evidence that weight issues also link to depression.

The Sunflower Class
Once a week we run a smaller group with course materials designed specifically to suit those living with additional educational needs. The smaller class numbers allow our specialists to spend more time with our participants 1-2-1. We switch up the exercise element of this class from ball games to dancing and keep it fun.
The Sunfower class runs every Monday from 1PM – 2.30PM at Shoebury Youth Centre.
Joining is easy, using the options at the bottom of the page.
