Girls session at Birmingham Sports Centre

To complement and enhance the sporting activities, exercise and dance sessions are provided as a more direct approach to address health and well-being issues.  This provides young people with additional activities they can enjoy and also learn about the health benefits of a sustained programme of exercise. As part of the ‘Healthy Lifestyle’ project, there are training and information sharing sessions about the human body and how to keep it healthy through diet and exercise.

Through the health and fitness programme, Local Leagues is one of the very few organisations that has managed to engage and retain Asian women into progressive exercise plan.  The reason this programme has been more successful then the mainstream form of exercise is that it is culturally sensitive, and uses a female instructor, and Asian music and dance to achieve an aerobic workout.  These sessions are carried out locally, for women only by an Asian female instructor, therefore language and culture is not an issue.  This programme is delivered in partnership with the Birmingham City Council’s Youth Services, the Primary Care Trusts, and other Community and Voluntary organisations.

The complement of activities that Local Leagues provides means that it is in a unique position of engaging and training people that have been traditionally perceived to be from the hard to reach groups
