BTCV - Green Gym
Summary The BTCV Green Gym ® is a scheme that inspires you to improve your health and the environment at the same time. It offers you the opportunity to 'work out' in the open air through local, practical environmental or gardening work.

Physically active people are up to 50% less likely to suffer from a heart attack or stroke, but over 70% of us are not active enough to benefit.

We know that we should try to be fitter and healthier, and we are also increasingly aware of how important our local environment is.

Going to gyms and sports centres doesn't appeal to everyone. The BTCV Green Gym is a great alternative. It helps people of all ages to be physically active by providing:

* A regular programme of outdoor sessions of Green Gym activities
* Training and development of new skills
* Partnerships with local health services

Increasing physical activity and being outside in green space also has proven benefits for mental health, helping to reduce stress and overcome depression.
