Anglesey launches Green Gym initiative
Isle of Anglesey County Council (IACC) has launched a new initiative to allow residents to improve their fitness levels and help the environment.
Community groups have already been established as part of the Anglesey Green Gym Scheme, offering activities such as tree planting, healthy walks and building gardens. Residents are also being invited to set up green gyms of their own, following the success of schemes in Amlwch, Llangefni, Gaerwen and Benllech.
Huw Griffiths, community conservation officer at IACC, said: "The scheme can provide real health benefits for those taking part especially when you consider a Green Gym session can burn three times more calories than an aerobics class. "Physical activities will also improve muscular strength, reducing the risk of conditions such as osteoporosis and heart disease developing in later life."
