Physical Activity

Newry, South Down & South Armagh Area

Physical activity is all about moving more and sitting less. It is much easier to sustain if it is enjoyable, and is incorporated into daily life to become a habit.

​

Physical activity is good for us, not only to help us physically but also mentally no matter what your age or fitness level.
