Physical Campaign

During the Twilight training session on 11th July, staff at Newcastle Bridges School had an opportunity to choose from three different activities: Bowling at Lane 7, Ghetto Golf, or a walking tour of Ouseburn tunnels.

Staff enjoyed this final event which has contributed towards our ‘physical campaign’ as we work towards gaining the Better Health At Work Gold Award.

Physical activity is considered to have a number of benefits, for example:

• Improved memory and brain function
• Protection against many chronic diseases
• An aid in weight management
• Lower blood pressure and improved heart health
• Improved quality of sleep
• Reduced feelings of anxiety and depression
• Improved joint pain and stiffness
• The maintenance of muscle strength and balance
