Silverfit – walk with us for free
Over 50? Fit and Happy Outdoors has teamed up with Silverfit, a charity encouraging wellbeing and lifelong fitness.
Silverfit is a small charity that wants to raise awareness of the benefits of exercise for the over 50s and help over 50s find a way to regular exercise they enjoy. It is a very social and friendly community and there are many different activities to choose from, like Pilates, Tai Chi, Cheerleading, Cycle confidence training, walking for health and Nordic Walking. And, as they pay us, we don’t have to charge you for your session. Some of our walkers only walk with us on Silverfit days, others like to add a Silverfit session to their regular Fit and Happy Outdoors session, choose, pick or mix and match, it’s up to you. You will be just as dear to us.
