30/30 Essex
Are you ready to take the challenge?
3030 Essex is a great way to begin or refresh your journey to getting more physically active.
No challenges to complete, no distances to run, no targets to beat – just 30 minutes of activity for the 30 days of June – your way!
Why not use June as an opportunity to try a new activity or sport? There’s plenty of inspiration from our Daily Guest Editorseverything from This Girl Can ambassadors, the Fire Brigade and Help for Heroes – they’re all lined up to give you a daily dose of ideas.
Busy Lives
Probably the most used excuse for not getting active – but in reality – we can all make time to fit in 30 minutes a day. Chunk the time down into 10 or 15 minute blocks; a brisk walk at lunchtime or picking up the pace when taking the dog for a walk. Everything counts.
Buddy Up and make it fun
Some people like to exercise alone – but it can be more fun to involve family, friends or colleagues. A good excuse to try a new club or class. Throughout June clubs & organisations across Essex will be staging Open Events where you can go along and just observe or join in a taster session.
Record your efforts with our special A Second a Day app – https://1se.co/ Just record one single second each day while you’re involved in your activity and it will build into a whole minute film by June 30th.
Why bother?
Simply put – you’ll feel better! When you exercise your body releases endorphins, a chemical that fights stress and makes you feel good. It increases energy and stamina, helps manage weight, improves cholesterol levels, lowers blood pressure, prevents osteoporosis and cancer and helps with your positive mental health. More a question of why not bother!
