In recent years we have become more aware that regular exercise is a major asset in our lives, keeping us mentally fit and thereby reducing problems arising from poor health and stress.
However when faced with this information the automatic reaction is to think of sport and fitness classes down at the local leisure centre, which can turn many people off even before they begin, while others go for a few weeks then find they're not enjoying it so 'forget' to go back.
Now is your opportunity to get all the exercise you need to receive the health benefits without even needing to think about buying a pair of trainers. Instead get yourself some good boots and hire an allotment.
The work you'll put in will supply the activity you need in your life and as an extra reward you'll see the weekly shopping bills start to drop as you produce your own fresh veg.
You don't even need to go overboard, figures supplied by the Health Education Authority show that doing any moderate activity for half an hour a day will help keep you strong and mobile.
Elmbridge Allotments are spread throughout the borough and the majority currently have vacant plots. With nearly 20 allotment sites in the Elmbridge Area there is plenty of opportunity to hire a plot.
