Lose weight on a free health and fitness course
NHS Hammersmith and Fulham is running a special weekly course designed for overweight or obese people who want practical information on healthy eating and physical exercise.
The new 13 week Fit 4 Life course includes a weekly session with a qualified NHS dietitian and another session with a trained exercise instructor. It is open to anyone who is overweight or obese and either lives or works in the borough.
The first course starts on Tuesday 24 February 2009 but the local NHS will be running courses throughout the year.
Douglas Twenefour, a dietitian at NHS Hammersmith and Fulham, said: “I often speak to people who want to improve their eating and exercise habits but they don’t know how or where to start. This could be your chance to make some permanent improvements to your health, so get in touch with us to sign up for a place on the course. The other people taking part in the course will have the same questions and concerns as you so it will be a really practical and useful course."
If you’re interested in finding out more about the course, you can either contact your local GP or telephone the NHS Hammersmith and Fulham Nutrition and Dietetics team on 020 8237 2037.
