\n Football For Fitness sessions aim to help adults improve their health in a supportive and enjoyable setting.\n<\/p>\n
\n Launched by Dorchester resident Samuel Lighten, the programme blends football-themed exercises with general fitness activities and is designed for adults of mixed abilities.\n<\/p>\n
\n Samuel said: “A lot of people want to get fitter but don\u2019t necessarily enjoy the gym environment or feel comfortable joining competitive sports teams.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Football For Fitness is about making exercise enjoyable again while bringing people together through something familiar and social.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The sessions focus on movement, fitness and enjoyment over competition, offering a relaxed environment for participants to build confidence and improve their wellbeing.\n<\/p>\n
\n Each session includes light football drills, movement-based exercises, fitness games and small-sided football.\n<\/p>\n
\n The emphasis is on inclusivity and participation.\n<\/p>\n
\n Open to both men and women, the sessions are suited to a wide range of fitness levels, including those who haven\u2019t played football in years.\n<\/p>\n
\n Sessions take place on Mondays in Weymouth and Dorchester.\n<\/p>\n
\n Weymouth sessions run from 6pm to 7pm at Redlands, while Dorchester sessions are held from 8pm to 9pm at the 1610 Leisure Centre.\n<\/p>\n
\n Participants are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early to register and should wear suitable footwear for astroturf surfaces.\n<\/p>\n
\n Organisers hope the scheme will help more people get active, connect with others and rediscover the fun in fitness.\n<\/p>\n
