Physical Activity - restores your overall balance

Being active doesn’t have to mean going to the gym.  This #MensHealthWeek there are loads of ways that you can do this in your daily life e.g. take the dog for a walk, go cycling, wash your car by hand, take the stairs instead of the lift, cut the grass, take-up jogging, dig-over the flower beds, join an online class.

Girls Active - Week Five - Union Wood Walk

As part of girls active last week the girls went for a guided walk by Warner and William in Union Wood. Union Wood is a large area of mixed forestry located between Collooney, Ballygawley and Ballisodare and provides a wonderful amenity for Sligo. The wood provides a range of walking opportunities through diverse woodland as well as access to Union Rock and its wonderful panorama of the North West of Ireland.  This was a very enjoyable experience for the group.
