Wokingham

A new Wokingham cardio-vascular workout programme is coming soon to a leisure centre near you thanks to an investment of £8,400 from Wokingham Borough Council.

The Wokingham cardio-vascular workout programme, known as ‘Urban Rebounding’, comes in the form of mini-trampolines and these will be in use at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre in Lower Earley and St Crispin’s Sports Centre in Wokingham from Monday (June 29). Some of the mini-trampolines will also be used by the borough council’s sports development unit in other community venues from August.

‘Urban Rebounding’ is on offer to youngsters as well as adults across the borough to improve general fitness but the programme can also be aimed specifically for sporting fitness in a range of sports including tennis, football, hockey, athletics and ski-ing.

Beverley Thompson, Wokingham sports development and leisure co-ordinator, said: “The council is committed to getting its residents fit and active. ‘Urban Rebounding’ workouts are great fun and help develop cardiovascular endurance, all over body conditioning and general fitness.

“It’s a great way to get fit and active. We recognise it’s important to offer our residents a range of diverse sports and physical activities that are fun, challenging and capture their interest in fitness and encourages everyone in getting more active. ‘Urban Rebounding’ is something different and promises to be an exciting workout that appeals to all age groups.”
