Together, they’ve helped us shape a ten-year vision for a more active Lincolnshire. This Let’s Move Lincolnshire strategy brings together the views of stakeholders, citizens and communities across our county, along with powerful insights and evidence. At the heart of it sits personal motivation and circumstance, but both are heavily impacted by factors that all of us as stakeholders, policymakers, decision-makers and providers can influence for the better. Right now, a complex system surrounds how available it is to people. That’s why we need to make regular movement and physical activity accessible and appealing to everyone in Lincolnshire. Giving people that opportunity and encouragement has an important role to play – not only in reducing pressure on health and care services, or achieving climate goals – but in levelling up communities right across the UK. When a community becomes more active, economic potential and prosperity increases, nurturing social cohesion, reducing skills gaps and supporting employment. Regular movement has a profound impact on our physical health, mental wellbeing, personal development, social connectivity and educational achievements. There’s overwhelming evidence for the positive impacts and life-changing benefits of being active. Spearheaded by Active Lincolnshire, we’re supported by incredible partner organisations like yours, right across the county.

Let’s Move Lincolnshire is our shared commitment to give organisations and people the support they need to move more, enjoy more and build more positive, healthy habits – boosting their health and wellbeing and making a lasting impact on Lincolnshire’s communities, economy and prosperity.Īchieving that goal takes team players committed to a whole system approach. We know that being active makes people’s lives better, and we believe everyone deserves that chance. We’re particularly focused on helping people who might find it difficult to access opportunities for physical activity, or feel daunted about getting started. At its heart is the idea that every move counts, which is why we’re committed to creating opportunities for everyone to be active – in a way that works for them, whatever their age or ability. The NHS has also produced guidance about getting active during pregnancy.Let’s Move Lincolnshire is a countywide movement encouraging everyone in Lincolnshire to be more active. The CMO recommends 150 minutes or more of moderate intensity physical activity a week - with every activity and minute counting. Staying active during pregnancy helps with mood, sleep and reduces the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and weight gain.

And if you were, then to keep going but listen to your body and adapt. If you're pregnant, the CMO's advice is to start gradually if you weren't active prior to pregnancy. Supervise any young children taking part.
#TIME TO GET MOVING FREE#
Make sure your workout area is safe and free of obstacles before exercising. Next time try something less strenuous, building up your activity gradually. Stop the exercises immediately if you feel faint or unwell, and if you still feel dizzy or unwell, have a rest. Make sure you warm up and cool down to prevent injury, and make sure you keep hydrated. Please feel free to refer to the UK Chief Medical Officer’s (CMO's) Physical Activity Guidelines when determining the level of activity appropriate to you. If you're unsure about your ability, it might be wise to start gradually and build up.
