The Rural Active Free Exercise Program is back!

Tablelands Regional Council is again offering their popular free Rural Active Exercise Program for men and women aged 40 and over in the Tablelands region.

‘The programs aim to increase physical activity participation among people aged 40+ on the Tablelands, contributing to their overall health and wellbeing,’ said Deputy Mayor, Dave Bilney.

‘The program is inclusive of all abilities, social and economic backgrounds, experience levels and health conditions, and encourages ongoing positive behaviour change and healthy habits’.

‘The new Rural Active Men’s program will concentrate on cardio and strength’.
