New to exercise?
This week is for you
Going to a leisure centre for the first time can feel scary. That’s normal. Lots of people feel the same. You don’t need to be fit, and you don’t need special clothes. Just come along.
I don’t know what to do
Ask our staff. They will show you around and help you.
I’m not fit enough
That’s OK. Go slowly and stop when you want to. Everyone starts somewhere.
People will look at me
Most people are busy with their own exercise. Many of them were new once too.
I don’t have the right clothes
Wear clothes you can move in, and trainers. For swimming, bring a swimming costume and a towel.
I don’t want to go alone
Bring a friend or someone from your family. Everyone aged 16 or over who lives in Hounslow can get their own free pass.
Start small. 10 minutes of walking or swimming is a great first step.
Why exercise?
How exercise helps you
You don’t need to do a lot. A little exercise, done often, can make a big difference to how you feel.
- Mood
Feel happier
Exercise can help with stress and worry. It can also lower your risk of depression by up to 30%.
- Sleep
Sleep better
Being active can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply.
- Energy
Feel less tired
Moving more gives you more energy, so everyday jobs feel easier.
- Health
A healthier body
Exercise lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes.
- People
Meet people
Classes and swimming are a good way to meet people who live near you.
- Confidence
Feel proud
Trying something new feels good. You might surprise yourself.
A little is good. More is better.
