03 September 2010Residents in the Hextable area can get summer off to a healthy start when a team of fitness professionals and nutrionists visit the village on Friday 19 June.
The Get S.O.R.T.ed team will be offering their free healthy lifestyle advice and support when they visit the Heritage Centre on College Road between 10am and 1pm.
There is no need to book an appointment, anyone can just turn up and speak to a member of the team.
Whether the goal is to lose weight, cook healthier food, cope with life’s stresses or just generally feel more energised and alive, the team can work with anyone to help them achieve their goals.
The team offer free one-to-one consultations with anyone aged over 16 and will work with individuals to assess their priorities and help create a perfect individualised lifestyle plan. A follow up phone call or e-mail after four weeks can help motivate and provide the opportunity to ask further questions or gain further advice.
The Get S.O.R.T.ed team also realise that modern life is busy and stressful and often health matters can take a back seat. They will help to find ways to overcome barriers such as time, money, childcare and transport, and motivate into action with small manageable steps.
Cllr Pat Bosley, Sevenoaks District Council Cabinet member with responsibility for healthy living, says: "A trip to see the Get S.O.R.T.ed team is well worthwhile. Their advice is totally free and it is a great chance to learn about the small changes that can be made to your daily routine that can have a big impact on your health. With the warmer hopefully here to stay for at least a couple of months, it is the perfect time to start getting more active and really enjoy the summer months!"
The Get S.O.R.T.ed initiative is organised by Sevenoaks District Council in partnership with Sencio Community Leisure and jointly funded by West Kent NHS Primary Care Trust. This initiative is part of the ‘Sevenoaks District Healthy Lifestyles Project’ and the national ‘Choosing Health’ Agenda to make healthier choices easier.
