Free training for outdoor fitness: Get active in Bonn now!

Exercise is not only healthy, but can also be fun - this is shown by the “Outdoor Active” project in Bonn, which is worth a look for all sports enthusiasts in Cologne. In cooperation between the city of Bonn, the Bonn City Sports Association, TuS Pützchen and the Techniker Krankenkasse, free exercise is offered at various locations. The focus is on special multiplier training courses that take place in June and July and are aimed at committed citizens who want to become active in their districts. Not only is the fun of exercise encouraged, but the health skills of the participants are also strengthened in order to establish long-term health-promoting structures in the neighborhoods.

Those interested have the opportunity to take part in free training courses that focus on the use of outdoor fitness equipment. The training includes adapting exercises to different levels of difficulty and creating individual training plans. For example, a theoretical unit covers the basics of interval training and high-intensity training (HIT). The dates for the training have already been set: June 28th and July 9th at the Rigal’sche Wiese in Bad Godesberg, July 2nd at the Schwarzrheindorf sports field and July 10th at the Andreas-Schönmüller sports facility in Dransdorf. Please note that the number of participants is limited to 15 people per appointment.

Diverse training content

What can participants expect during the training? A wide range of topics are covered, tailored to the needs of the target group. Especially in the digital age, it is important that exercise opportunities are integrated into everyday life. Short breaks in movement at work can prevent health risks such as cardiovascular diseases or back problems. These topics are also taken up in other training courses that cover, for example, back pain, body stabilization or relaxation training. This involves training multipliers who not only understand the content but can also pass it on.

The training courses are carefully designed and led by experts. These help participants to teach behavior that promotes movement in the group, be it during short movement sequences at the workplace or by integrating active breaks. Handouts with exercises and information are valuable support in implementing the practical content perfectly.

The meaning behind “Active Outdoors”

With the help of the project, exercise is intended to become an integral part of life in the neighborhoods. The training of multipliers plays a crucial role here. They are not only responsible for carrying out exercise activities, but also help to promote an active life in their surroundings. It's about raising awareness of the importance of exercise in everyday life and developing a good knack for organizing such activities. According to the motto “Exercise enriches our lives”, the project will continue to ensure that newly qualified fitness trainers and exercise experts enrich city life in the future.
