This Girl Can

The national award-winning This Girl Can campaign seeks to tell the real stories of women who get active or play sport in the way that's right for them, using images that show what activity really looks like in all its sweaty, jiggly glory.

Getting active can sometimes feel like an impossibility. We don't have hours of time to dedicate to the gym, money to spend on the latest kit, or relentless energy! We may or may not have full time jobs and full time kids, but we all have full-on schedules.

However, you can get active in clever ways that fit in to your busy life. It might be cycling to work, taking the dog for a run, or simply getting down and dirty on the kitchen floor...doing sit-ups!

Developed by Sport England, and promoted locally by us here at Active Together, we want to help women to get moving!

There is no one-size-fits-all solution, in fact, there are many, many ways to be active, including some that people may not realise actually count. Every woman is different, so try a few activities until you find the right thing for you which you enjoy.

Doing something you actually like means you're far more likely to keep doing it. Moving more with friends, family members, and others can also help make things more fun.

Don't expect to see big differences overnight. Even small changes can have an impact on your health.

For some people, aiming for ten minute bouts of activity can help them get started.
