Top.Tips.from.Torbay.Care.Trust.Lifestyles.Team1. Stop.smoking

It’s the best thing you can do for yourself . Torbay Stop Smoking Service provides local help, support and advice on giving up smoking, at least doubling your chances of staying smoke free . Please call us on 01803 299160 or the National NHS Stop Smoking helpline 0800 169 0169

2.. Be.active Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week, such as walking or gardening, can help keep you healthy . Torbay Community Fitness Team has set up a range of initiatives to make getting fit fun, such as the Bay-Rides cycling group, Bay Walks and the Fit-Bay GP referral scheme . For further information contact 01803 321867 .

�. Eat.healthily Try to have a balanced diet . Choose low fat versions of foods, have healthy snacks and aim for at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day . Check the fat and sugar content on food labels – this can appear confusing but follow the simple guide below to judge how healthy the food you’re eating is .

For sugars, 10g is a lot and 2g is a little .

For fat, 20g is a lot and 3g is a little .

For salt, 1 .25g is a lot and XXg is a little .

�

�. Drink.healthily.Adults should aim to drink two litres of water a day . If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation; men should drink no more than 21 units per week, and women no more than 14 units of alcohol per week .

1 single pub measure of spirits = 1 unit

1 pint ordinary strength beer/cider/larger = 2/3 units

1 large glass of wine = 2/3 units

1 can standard larger = 2 units

1 “alcopop” ready to drink = 1 .5 units

5. Be.‘Sunsmart’

Stay in the shade between 11am and 3pm

Make sure you never burn

Always cover up

Remember to take extra care with children and use at least factor 15 sunscreen .

For support in making positive changes to your life, contact the Team of Lifestyle Support Workers They can offer a personal action plan to support you to achieve your goals for a healthier lifestyle .

Becoming.More.ActiveBeing more active is one way in which you can improve your lifestyle . Our bodies are designed to move and physical activity should form part of our daily routine . This can be in many forms, (some of which will be illustrated in this guide) but it also includes everyday tasks such as walking, housework and climbing stairs .

You don’t have to be ‘sporty’ either, the benefits of being more active can be gained from all types of physical activity not just ‘formal exercise’

Being.more.active.can.help.you:-

n reduce stress levels n boost confidence

n lose weight n control blood sugars

n move more easily n manage joint pains

n normalise blood pressure n increase energy levels

n strengthen bones and muscles n improved sleep

and more…

Starting.a.new.active.lifestyle

People decide to become more active for various different reasons; primarily it should be for fun and enjoyment and many people find it a great way of socialising and meeting new friends .

11

What.activities.are.safe.and.effective?For general public health benefit, the most appropriate activities are those of moderate intensity . Moderate intensity activity stimulates the body’s cardio respiratory, musculoskeletal and metabolic systems and over time causes them to adapt and become more efficient . In other words, the body gets fitter . The concept of ‘moderate intensity activity’ may not be widely understood . A person who is doing moderate intensity activity will usually experience:

n an increase in breathing rate

n an increase in heart rate, to the level where the pulse can be felt

n a feeling of increased warmth, possibly accompanied by sweating on hot or humid days .

Also, a bout of moderate intensity activity can be continued for many minutes, and does not cause exhaustion or extreme fatigue when continued for an extended period .

How.much.activity.should.I.do?The aim is to do 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity on five or more days of the week . This can be broken into smaller chunks of 10 minutes and accumulated throughout the day .

Simple.tips.to.help.you.become.more.activen Leave the remote control on top of the television

n Take the stairs instead of the escalator / lift

n Park your car as far away and walk that little bit further

12

n Walk or cycle for journeys that are between distances of ¼ mile and 2 miles . Leaving the car at home .

n Do some mobility exercises first thing in the morning

n Go for a walk during your lunch break

n If you have milk or newspapers delivered, cancel the delivery and walk to the shop .

n Get a dog or volunteer to walk a neighbour’s dog .

Key.points.to.remembern Physical activity improves health throughout the life course

– from childhood through to older age .

n For general health benefit, adults should achieve a total of at least 30 minutes a day of at least moderate intensity physical activity on 5 or more days of the week .

n The recommended levels of activity can be achieved either by doing all the daily activity in one session, or through several shorter bouts of activity of 10 minutes or more .

n The activity can be lifestyle activity, structured exercise or sport, or a combination of these .

WalkingIf you are unsure of what type of exercise to do, walking is an ideal place to start . It can be done by anyone no matter what fitness level, you can do it anywhere and it doesn’t cost anything .

Any walking is better than none at all but ideally walking should be brisk, so that you are slightly out of breath and you can feel your heart beating a little faster . If you are very unfit or haven’t done any exercise for some time it is better to start slowly and build up to walking faster as your fitness improves .

Bay Walks is a shceme that provides led walks by trained walk leaders . For further details or to get a list of the led walks, contact Mel Border at Bay Walks on 01803 606035

DancingDancing provides the body with many health benefits . It may help reduce stress, increase energy, and improve strength, muscle tone, and co-ordination . Dancing can also burn as many calories as walking or riding a bike .

Another plus of dancing is that the weight bearing movements of your steps can strengthen the bones of your legs and hips, important for maintaining bone health as you age .

Dancing is an activity we can do for the rest of our lives . . . and the social aspects are all part of its allure . It’s a great way to make new friends, be creative and expressive, and just plain old enjoy life . And, the best part of dancing is the fun you can have while you’re doing something great for your body .

Whatever your preference, there’s sure to be a style to suit . Whether it’s belly dancing, funk, swing, ballet, jazz,

tap, square, hip-hop, the hustle, the tango, or modern dance, classes are popping up all over .

CyclingCycling is a great way to keep fit and increase your activity levels . It is non weight-bearing and is therefore suitable for people who may find weight bearing exercise difficult

If you have not ridden a bike for some time and are nervous about returning to cycling or you have never ridden a bike before, Torbay organises Bay Rides - a supervised cycling programme available to help you build up your confidence . Contact Fitbay on 01803 321867 .

For those who are more adventurous there are a number of cycling clubs in the area that cater for a range of abilities from the weekend touring cyclist to the competitive racing cyclist .

For further information on local cycling clubs, please see the list on page 68 .

Health.&.FitnessJoining a gym is a great way to keep fit and get in shape . Most modern gyms have all the necessary equipment for you to achieve all your health and fitness goals and they cater for all types of people; not just ‘sporty types’

Gyms can be very expensive, however, and a large proportion of those who join a gym do not stay members for more than a couple of months or do not visit the gym as often as they would like . This may be for a number of reasons such as lack of time, lack of motivation, didn’t like the atmosphere or perhaps for financial reasons .

It is very important to make sure you think about these factors before you decide to join a gym . Shop around and don’t be afraid to ask questions .

n Can you afford it?

n Do you get value for money (both in terms of equipment and customer service)?

n Will you enjoy it?

n Can you motivate yourself or should you go with a friend?

For further advice visit www .fia .org .uk

Before.joining.a.gym.or.health.club.we..recommend.that.you-

n Visit the gym at the times that you wish to use it .

n Check the number of machines available for use .

SwimmingSwimming is a great way to tone up and trim down, because to swim you need to move your body against the resistance of the water . It involves most of the major muscle groups, giving your body a great work out . Because you can swim at your own pace, slowly if you wish, you can keep swimming for much longer than if you were going for the burn on a bike, for example . Maintaining your staying power is a vital goal in fat-burning exercise .

The other big advantage of swimming is that water supports your weight and takes the stress off your joints, so you can put your body through a good workout without your knees, hips or spine paying the price . Research shows that exercising in waist-deep water reduces the pressure on joints by 50 per cent, while exercising in chest-deep water reduces it by as much as 75 per cent .

However, although swimming is great if you have joint problems such as arthritis, it won’t build up much protection against osteoporosis because it’s not a weight-bearing exercise .

Swimming is a wonderful exercise in pregnancy .

The weight-supporting effect of

water means it’s especially good in the late stages when you’re struggling to get about .

Community.Sports.Development.in.Torbay

Torbay.Sports.Partnership..@.Paignton.Community.and.Sports.CollegeThe Torbay Sports Partnership took over the organisation and implementation of the Sports Development Programme from Torbay Council in 2005 . Since then the Partnership has employed a Community Sports Co-ordinator whose job is to develop opportunities for everyone throughout Torbay to participate in sport and physical activity . This remit includes developing the links between schools and clubs and promoting sport and physical activity opportunities throughout the Bay .

The Community Sports Co-ordinator works closely with other agencies including the Youth Sport Trust, Sports Coach UK, Sport England, National Governing Bodies of Sport, Community Sports Coaches, local sports clubs, youth centres and other organisations who have an interest in sport .

These partnerships have helped in the development of already existing sports programmes and initiatives including the Devon Youth Games, the Torbay Sports Personality of the Year Awards, the Torbay Youth Triathlon, and the Torbay Coach Education Programme . The Community Sports Co-ordinator is constantly working on the development and implementation of other programmes and initiatives in order to improve the sporting life of everyone throughout Torbay .

105

Active.Devon.Sports.PartnershipThe Active Devon Sports Partnership was established in 2000 to deliver community sports development initiatives throughout Devon (including Plymouth and Torbay) .

They are one of 45 similar Partnerships around the country and are the biggest in the South West, both geographically and in terms of the numbers of partners they have .

The main activities are aimed at 10-16 year olds and range from introductory coaching activities and local club development to sub-county development squad programmes for more talented youngsters .

Their aim is to help young people improve their skills and abilities and get more involved in organised sport . The nine ‘target’ sports on which they focus are: basketball, tennis, girls’ football, cricket, rugby, netball, hockey, athletics and swimming .

However, their programmes are not exclusively confined to these focus sports; club and coach development programmes are available to the whole sporting community in Devon and people and clubs from sports as diverse as surfing, skateboarding and horse riding have benefited from the activities organised . They have also been involved with successful projects with other partners, such as out of school hours coaching in schools, coaching for the looked after children and transport provision through the Countryside Agency .

The Active Devon Sports Partnership is looking forward to exciting times ahead . In line with National and Regional Plans for sport they fully support and integrate with a County Partnership that has an even wider remit for increasing participation in physical activity and sport in Devon .

10�

Members of the Active Devon Sports Partnership team are employed throughout the county and each have a remit for a particular sport or area of work . To contact one of the Sports Specific Officers or any member of the Partnership team please visit their website www .activedevon .org .

Torbay.Coach.Education.Programme.In the Coach Education Programme you will find a variety of courses that will provide you with the opportunity to learn and equip yourself with new skills .

We offer a wide range of courses for people with all levels of experience and the objective of the Coach Education Programme is to raise the standard of sports coaching, together with acknowledging and supporting the role of the sports coach in the local area .

The Programme includes National Governing Body Awards for specific courses and generic courses and workshops covering areas such as club development, coach development and child protection which are important when applying for Clubmark schemes .

Further information can be found in the Torbay Coach Education Programme or by contacting Kirsty Parker, the Community Sports Co-ordinator on 01803 403739 . Alternatively you can access the programme of courses on the Torbay Sport Partnership website; www .torbaysport .com .

Sports Partnership through their Community Sports Co-ordinator .

The aim of the event is to recognise the dedication and achievements of the sporting community throughout Torbay . The Awards recognise sportsmen, sportswomen, junior sportsmen and sportswomen, coaches, volunteers and disabled sportspeople .

To access a Nomination Form please call Kirsty Parker, the Community Sports Co-ordinator on 01803 403739 or visit www .torbaysport .com .

The Games are held in a different Authority each year and encourage young people to take part in physical activity .

Bringing together over a thousand young people from eight local authorities in the county, the Devon Youth Games promote community youth sport and create multiple new sport development opportunities .

If you would like to be involved in the Games as either a team manager or a participant please contact Kirsty Parker, the Community Sports Co-ordinator on 01803 403739 .

Groundworks.TrustGroundwork’s purpose is ‘to build sustainable communities through joint environmental action’ . Through partnership working projects aim to improve things in three ways:

For people - creating opportunities for people to learn new skills & take local action For places - creating better, safer and healthier neighbourhoods For prosperity - helping businesses and individuals fulfil their potential

Generally work can be said to contribute to 6 themes:

Business - integrating the economy & the environment

Communities - building stronger neighbourhoods

Education - learning, citizenship & sustainability

Employment - training for work and stimulating enterprise

Land - reconnecting people with their surroundings

Youth - realising young people’s potential

Currently there are nearly 50 independent Groundwork Trusts working as part of a federation network across England, Wales and Northern Ireland . Each Groundwork Trust is an independent registered charity and works through a partnership between local public, private and voluntary sectors . In the South West Groundwork Devon & Cornwall has been active since 1991 .

In Torbay Groundwork have worked in partnership to deliver a number of community sports projects including:
