Tips for choosing the right activity
Whether you are introducing yourself to physical activity, or are looking for a new way to move more, there are some simple steps you can take to make sure you choose the right activity for you.
1. Reach out to the activity provider to ask questions and gather more information if you need it. For example, you may want to share detail of any health condition you have, or activities you find difficult to check the activity is the right choice for you.
2. Check qualifications: Verify the qualifications of the instructors running the activity. Look for relevant training and experience. For example, you may want to choose a provider who has experience or knowledge of your health condition.
3. Check insurance: This can include public liability insurance and, depending on the activity, professional indemnity insurance, to protect participants in case of accidents or other incidents.
4. Check safeguarding policies: If the activity involves children or adults at risk, review the provider's safeguarding policies, procedures and code of conduct to ensure they have measures in place to protect participants from harm.
5. Connect with LiveWell Dorset for free health behaviour change support: If you need more support to move more, LiveWell Dorset can provide free signposting and behaviour change coaching that can help you to overcome barriers, stay motivated, or build healthy habits. Find out more here
