Less sitting, more activity. For all. For life.

Helping everyone be a bit more active

This is a challenging time for nursery and school children who are less active and easily weight gain as well as facing the social issues of a post-Covid world. Teachers are trying to make up for lost academic time. Parents need reassurance about their children’s wellbeing as well their education. And every child needs the opportunity to be active irrespective of their social standing or physical abilities. Active Movement offers a radical approach to children’s health by focussing on the dangers of our sedentary lifestyle and the huge benefits of reducing it – not through an intense exercise regime, but by adding movement to every classroom, every day without burdening teachers or compromising teaching time. Contact us today for more information as to how Active Movement can increase activity and reduce weight for every child in your school
