Fitness Exercises for Women: How Women Start Playing Sport: Sport And Fitness For Women

Did you know that playing sport keeps  your brain sharp and your self- esteem high? Health writer Amy Bonifas  explores the latest science behind why sport is so good for us – and  which sports have the biggest health benefits. The past few weeks have  been a dream for sport fanatics – from the hype around the FIFA Women’s  World Cup, to epic tennis at Wimbledon, and a nail biting cricket final  that saw England take home the trophy.

The Vitality Netball World Cup lit up  Liverpool this July and our very own Vitality Roses did us proud by  taking the bronze medal in a closely-contested play-off with South  Africa. But the benefits of sport go much further than the fun you have  watching it on telly. Playing sport keeps us healthy, and getting stuck  into a game gives us a powerful combination of physical and mental  health benefits. Playing football, for instance, can not only reduce our  risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 50% but also boost our mental  wellbeing.

This book will help yo do that.
