Back to school? Time to get back at it 😀

🔎 Exploring a new leisure centre can feel daunting, especially if you're are unsure of what to expect walking through the doors for the first time.

📽️ To help make getting active feel more welcoming and accessible, a few leisure centres across Kent and Medway now offer virtual tours.

🚶‍♀️ These online walk-throughs give you the chance to look around facilities at your own pace, understand the layout and get a feel for the environment before visiting in person.

💛 Virtual tours can help reduce anxiety, build confidence and help you take that first positive step towards moving more.

👀 You can access a virtual tour of Tenterden Leisure Centre, Stour Leisure Centre, Dover District Leisure Centre, Active Life - Kingsmead Leisure Centre, tmActive sites and Maidstone Leisure Centre.

We should all aim to take part in 150 minutes of physical activity at moderate intensity, or 75 minutes at vigorous intensity every week, or a combination of both, according to government guidelines.

Over time, by making small changes to your everyday life and starting to make physical activity a habit, it should be a target you can reach 🎯

Remember: Every minute counts 👍
