The Healthy and Active Livingstone: Let’s Move Program aims to create a supportive and motivating environment where women and girls can engage in physical activity, build confidence, and develop lasting habits that benefit their overall health.

Key to this program’s success is a holistic approach, which will address both physical and mental wellbeing. Participants will receive guidance in areas such as:

• Mindset development
• Goal setting
• Building self-esteem and confidence
• Stress management and relaxation techniques
• Improving sleep quality
• Nutrition education
• Creating long-term habits for physical and mental health.

By integrating these elements, we aim to empower participants to improve their overall wellbeing and foster a culture of movement within the community.

• Participants will register to join the program and commit to prioritising their health and wellbeing throughout the 6-week duration.
• The program will feature a variety of physical activities catering to different fitness levels, ages, and interests.
• Activities will be offered at various times, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends, to accommodate different schedules and commitments.
• All physical activities will be led by qualified facilitators and trainers.
• All program activities will be provided at no cost to participants, with a goal of 100 registrations per program.
• As part of the registration process, participants will commit to engaging in a minimum of 150 minutes of physical activity per week (in line with WHO guidelines), ensuring they receive maximum benefits and establish sustainable, healthy habits.
• In addition to physical activity sessions, participants will receive a workbook and attend compulsory sessions on topics such as mindset, barriers to exercise, nutrition, and stress management for enhanced results.
• Participants will be required to book activities/sessions via Humanitix online registration system.
• Many activities will be held in public spaces, fostering community engagement, and promoting the use of local parks and open areas.
• The focus of the program is on increasing physical activity and overall wellbeing, not weight loss.
• Participants will have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with other women and girls, creating a sense of community and shared commitment to health.
• Participants and facilitators will be invited to join a private Facebook group, a safe online space to ask questions, share successes, post encouraging photos, and build community support.
