Fit through the spring with "Sport in the neighbourhood"!

Fit and healthy through the spring: a free exercise programme for everyone starts on 25 March. Every week, on Fridays, interested people meet at 9.30-10.30 am in the small park in Hardt at Stresemannstraße 1 (in front of the Clemens-Dülmer-Schule). "Just put on comfortable clothes, pack a towel and something to drink and you're ready to go", advertises Lisa Schoppers-Roes from the city council, who coordinates the programme.

Registrations and queries to Marina Neumann on 02871 / 25131207 or e-mail marina.neumann(at)caritas-bocholt(dot)de. Residents of the Nordost-Giethorst neighbourhood, as well as all other interested Bocholt residents, are invited to take part. Registration deadline is 11 March 2022.

The offer is part of the "Sport im Quartier" project, a free health and fitness training programme for untrained people as well as sports enthusiasts of all ages. It's not about performance, but about getting going and exercising outdoors with lots of fun and enjoyment while doing something for your health, explains Schoppers-Roes.

The free course comprises ten sessions, which are offered on a weekly basis. Participants can expect an easy workout that trains all the muscles in the body and strengthens health. Exercises close to everyday life are carried out using your own body weight and small equipment. The training is led by certified fitness trainer Lukas Heidemeyer.

The offer is implemented in cooperation between the neighbourhood work of Caritas and the Bocholt Job Centre's project to interlink work and health promotion.
