The Sport England Active People survey demonstrates that Nottingham City has increased the number of Nottingham City residents taking part in 1 x 30 minutes of physical activity by  0.7% since the period October 2013  to October 2014. 

Also the results show that more women than ever are now getting active and taking part in sport and physical activity! The latest results released from Sport England show that over 7 million females nationally now take part in sport / physical activity once a week. The gender gap has also begun to narrow from 1.78 million to 1.73 million – a sign that the This Girl Can campaign is having a positive impact!

'This Girl Can Swim' sessions are under way and there has been some great feedback from the ladies that have attended the sessions.

Following some comments and suggestions, music has now been added to the sessions, which makes it more enjoyable and relaxed experience.

MY STORY: I'm lucky enough to be a TGC ambassador and my inspiration is my sister in law Louise Moore. 

Louise recently underwent a double mastectomy, having lost her mum to cancer and being a high risk herself, she didn't hesitate to undergo the preventative surgery. This didn't stop her though and Louise has used yoga and Pilates during her recovery finding huge benefits both mentally and physically. Louise is a huge inspiration to everyone she knows, she shares her journey online and encourages everyone she knows to participate in yoga. Louise was so passionate about the benefits of yoga she opened her own studio less than 6 months after her operation! Louise has only started exercising in the last 5 years and went from nothing to competing in tough mudders and loving it! Her surgeon said her muscles helped with the operation and her speedy recovery. Louise has proven that anyone can exercise no matter what your situation. She really is a girl that can!!
