National Fitness Day

UK National Fitness Day was established in 2010 and has grown in size over the last decade. Each year, more and more fitness gurus, personal trainers and sports professionals host events on this special day. At ST. BERNARD'S we're getting our very own FITNESS Miss Fraser GURU moving children and staff across the school. It's going to be fun, active and full of FITNESS FLAVOUR! 

Dance-offs, mass playground walks, yoga classes, fun playground runs, plank-offs and workout sessions (I'm tired already!). 

Through these FUN group activities, National Fitness Day highlights how sport and physical activity can not only benefit our mental and physical health, but our social lives too! The school day aims to be accessible to everyone and prove that exercise and fitness is the best medicine for happier and healthier lives. 

It's not just for those already pumped-up for fitness, though. Starting the day in an active way, or having movement breaks throughout the day helps make us feel more energetic, happy and less stressed. 

Celebrating National Fitness Day with children - WEDNESDAY 21st SEPTEMBER

It's just a fantastic opportunity to teach our children to think about exercise in a positive and social way from a young age.
