Melton 
The human body was designed for activity so regular exercise is very important to help you to feel better every day and let’s not forget along with a healthy diet.
Your heart will grow stronger, as well as your bones and ultimately you will look and feel better physically and mentally! Getting fit and active in a group environment is also a huge positive for your mental health, as you will usually make friends and be able to socialise as well as become a fit and active person at the same time.
Even if your lives may be quite busy, you should still have regular fitness as one of your ‘must do’s’ for the week.
Melton City Council have acknowledged the importance of keeping fit and active, therefore have organised FREE activities in and around Melton, to encourage the Melton community to move their body!
