Exercise - Why Bother ?
Regular exercise is beneficial to your physical and mental health. It lowers your risk of heart disease, strokes and
osteoporosis. It will help control your weight, reduce stress and give you more energy, making you look and
feel better.
Stafford Primary Care Trust in conjunction with Riverside Recreation Centre have developed
an exercise referral scheme targeted particularly at people with health related
complaints who's condition could benefit from exercise as part of their routine.
If you have high blood pressure or cholesterol, asthma, diabetes, osteoporosis, stress, depression or you are trying
to lose weight, you can be referred to see a fitness consultant at Riverside. They
will tailor a 10 week exercise programme to your needs. You will be supported
in the Lifestyle gym on a one to one basis.
If you are interested in finding out more, please discuss the scheme with any GP or practice nurse.
