The Wirral Walking Festival is back!

The Wirral Walking Festival highlights the variety of walks that take place in Wirral during Spring/Summer each year. The Wirral Walking Festival includes short strolls, long-distance treks, nordic walking, mixed ability running, and much more!

Click here to download the Wirral Walking Festival 2022 brochure

Walking has never been so important in people's lives. Following on from the pandemic we have seen more people getting out locally to help them stay fit and healthy and very much to help with people's mental health.Walking is accessible to all and is free so why not get walking, it's an excellent way to meet new people, make friends and enjoy all the wonderful places the Wirral has to offer. We have many different groups across the borough which cater for everyone and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those volunteers out there who help make this happen. You change people's lives so thank you.
Fiona Hanik
Wirral Walking Coordinator

*To avoid disappointment, we recommend checking the relevant group’s website and social media to confirm that walks are taking place before setting off.

Campaign to encourage more people in Wirral to be physically active

  • Posted By : Blogs Team/
  • 0 comments /
  • Under : Fitness

‘Be Part of the Movement’ is a new campaign to encourage Wirral residents to make sport and physical activity part of their everyday life.

Funded by the Government’s Welcome Back Fund it will showcase the borough’s facilities and open spaces as safe places to improve health and wellbeing especially as communities continue their recovery from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The campaign is part of Wirral Council’s new Sport and Physical Activity Strategy approved by the authority’s Tourism, Communities, Culture and Leisure Committee in January.

The strategy lays out the council’s ambition to ensure that all Wirral residents have the opportunity, environment and support they need to lead active, healthy, and happier lives, and recognises the important role sport and physical activity plays in improving physical and mental health, supporting the economy, reconnecting communities, and rebuilding a stronger society for all. More than 1,000 people and organisations contributed to the development of the strategy.

The vision for the strategy is to now make sport and physical activity part of everyone’s everyday life and is based on four key themes:

  • Active People – To provide opportunities for all Wirral residents to be more active
  • Active Partnerships – To build partnerships and collaborations that provide inclusive activities for all
  • Active Places and Spaces – To ensure a network of high quality and accessible spaces that make it easier for people to be active.
  • Active Facilities – To create accessible, affordable, environmentally sustainable facilities offering a quality opportunity and environment that encourages Wirral residents to be more active, more often

Cllr Helen Cameron, chair of the Tourism, Communities, Culture & Leisure Committee, said: “It is incredibly important to keep active whatever your circumstances and this a great way to help to stay healthy for longer.

“There are lots of ways you can be part of the movement with Active Wirral. Whether you are someone who is already active or you want to find out how to start moving in ways that work for you, there will be something for everyone.”

The campaign’s mini website, ActiveWirral.com is where individuals, organisations and community-led groups – Motivators – will be able to access a toolkit to support their participation and Be Part of the Movement.

It also includes information on the new Sport and Physical Activity Strategy for people to learn more about our vision for the next five years, as well as a news feed plus ways to get involved here Get Active – Active Wirral.

The campaign will highlight how people can find out more about getting healthy and active.

Keep Fit After 50

  • Posted By : Blogs Team/

  • Under : Fitness

As all 50 plus women know it gets harder with age to keep your body in tip top condition. As we age our workouts need to be adapted and tweaked so we continue to get the same benefits from our fitness regime.

50 plus goal is to add some weight training to your weekly routine. Muscle is a fat burning machine that keeps your metabolism working to burn calories. By adding strength training to your weekly routine 3 or 4 times a week you will hold on to the muscle you had in your 20s and 30s.

Find a class that you really love that incorporates some weight training or buy a resistance band and dumbbells that you can use at home. If you don’t want to use weights just using your own body weight as resistance is enough to see some real results.

Squats, lunges, and press ups will all give you the following benefits.

You will change the shape of your body
You will boost your metabolism by retaining or building more muscle
You will increase strength, becoming more functional
You will build strong bones and combat osteoporosis
You will improve joint stability and reduce the risk of injury.

So, go on what are you waiting for – start throwing your weight around today!

  • Under : Fitness

Walking is simple and is one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.

Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help you build stamina, burn excess calories, and make your heart healthier.

You do not have to walk for hours. A brisk 10-minute daily walk has lots of health benefits and counts towards your recommended 150 minutes a week of exercise.

Our 1 Mile happy walk can be done indoors or in your garden, with mood boosting music and a qualified walk instructor to give you maximum benefit from your workout.

Anyone can do it and it only takes approximately 15 minutes a day.

Why not set your self a challenge to walk, 3- or 5-miles next week!

Join us live on Facebook or reply at a time to suit you.

We Are Undefeatable

  • Posted By : Blogs Team/

  • Under : Fitness

Wirral Leisure is proud to announce the launch of its community We Are Undefeatable programme.

Running in partnership with Sport England and the national campaign for We Are Undefeatable this new initiative is aimed at people who are living with a long term health condition and would like more support to be active.

Headed up by Sonia Carty who has worked for Wirral Council for 16 years. Passionate about our local residents with health conditions in finding what works for them to start to be more active.

Sonia Carty

‘Seeing the smiles on the faces of others as they achieve even the smallest of goals is quite simply…….why I do what I do’

Over 1 in 4 people live with at least one long-term health condition and these numbers are rising.

You are twice as likely to be inactive if you have a health condition, however being active can help to manage over 20 long-term conditions such as depression and type 2 diabetes; it reduces the risk of developing some conditions by up to 40% and can delay the onset of and reduce the severity of many health conditions.

As we’re being asked to stay at home more than usual, it’s more important then ever to stay active. Our team can work with you on helping you be active during this time.

The national campaign “We Are Undefeatable”, supported by 16 of the leading health and social care charities, aims to inspire and support people living with health conditions to build physical activity into their lives, in a way that their condition allows, and to celebrate every victory big or small.

The campaign is inspired by, and features, the real-life experiences of people with health conditions getting active despite the ups, downs and unpredictability of their condition. Read more here .
