"COVID & Co. - active for me"

New project of the Healthy Chemnitz Working Group starts on 15 March

The "COVID & Co. - active for me" project from the Healthy Chemnitz working group starts on Wednesday, 15 March. The project is aimed at all people who do not yet feel fully fit and able to perform again after an illness (coronavirus or other illnesses). The aim is to enable them to get back on their feet, adapted to their current level of performance.

Motivational and active meetings will take place at regular intervals, led by competent instructors. Everyone is invited to become active for their own health - detached from rigid course systems and thus adapted to the needs and rapidly changing individual situations of each person.

The meetings are free of charge and you can join at any time.

The motivational meetings "COVID & Co. - well informed" make it easy to get started and serve as a source of information. In addition, the first tips are given and small exercises are tried out.

The active meetings "COVID & Co. - active for me" utilise the forest as a source of strength and energy. With breathing training, movement exercises, relaxation sequences and knowledge transfer, participants are introduced to more activity step by step in 60 minutes, adapted to their current performance level.

The forest is considered a natural place of therapy, especially for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, allergies, lack of energy, mental stress, depression, burn-out and immune disorders. Spending time in the forest lowers blood pressure and blood sugar levels, boosts the immune system, reduces stress, stimulates the metabolism, reduces the risk of cancer, improves concentration and memory, brightens the mood, energises, clears the mind and strengthens all the senses.

The aim is to exchange ideas among like-minded people and to motivate each other to be active and to continue to see each other after the end of the meetings and to continue what has been learnt.
