Find Your Active For Free

Home / Find Your Active / Find Your Active For Free

With many of us feeling the pinch, Find Your Active wanted to highlight some of the ways you can still participate in physical activity, with it costing little or no money at all. Being mindful of where we spend our income is becoming particularly prevalent across the county. However, it is still important to take care in looking after our physical and mental health.

We know that a boost of energy and movement can benefit our mental wellbeing but recognise the increased worry among residents around how to deal with what life throws at you. Find Your Active want to support residents in Essex, Southend and Thurrock to still remain active, in a free and fun way. Below you will find a number of resources and opportunities which will help us all move more, without breaking the bank. In turn this will help to prioritise our mental wellbeing and take time away from our daily stresses.

As the seasons and landscapes change, as does the opinions about using our outdoor spaces. But getting outside as the days get shorter, is still super important. Fresh air is vital for our wellbeing, and Essex has beautiful green and even blue spaces to utilise in the colder months! There are great ways to keep the steps up for free, why not find a new walking route using the Go Jauntly app, attend a family bootcamp or explore your local park with a friend.

We certainly don’t think so! The Find Your Active YouTube channel may have been born during Covid, but lots of residents are still utilising the sessions. With almost 300 videos on offer, we’re sure there is an activity for everyone to try! Come November, the channel will also re-launch with new weekly videos.
