PROMOTING ACTIVE HEALTHY LIVING IN KENNINGTON & VAUXHALL

Dan Stilwell, a local personal trainer, is co-ordinating with other local organisations to provide healthy living events, which will be free and available to anyone. The activities begin at a special pre-Festival event at Archbishop Sumner School on Friday 8 July with a circuit training class, health and fitness screenings and talks about exercise and nutrition. The circuit training classes will then continue on the following two Thursdays, 14 and 21, from 6pm at the School. On Friday 22 July, 9am-12noon, Dan will be available at the ‘Live Long and Be Happy’ event organised by the Lambeth Walk Group Practice. People can also attend some introductory Tai Chi classes on Wednesdays 13 and 20 July, 7-9pm at Kennington Park Community Centre. Throughout the Festival Dan is running a competition, for a chance to win 8 personal training sessions (worth £280).

Health and fitness screenings will give people an opportunity to take various tests for blood pressure, body fat, heart rate recovery and much more. They can then compare their results against national norm charts. Advice will be available for those wishing to improve their results. During the talks people will get the chance to ask any questions they may have. At the Lambeth Walk Group Practice event Dan and Dr Mitra will be checking blood pressure and giving advice on how to remain fit and well.

The Competition is open to anyone and winners will be announced at 1:30pm at the Walnut Tree Walk, Fun Day on 23 July. Dan’s events are sponsored by the Southbank Club and Alpro Soya.
