ThinQ Fitness, the digital TV content company, and The Department of Health’s Change4Life movement, today announce the offer of a free month of online fitness videos to promote family health.
As part of the Change4Life campaign to “eat well, move more and live longer,” ThinQ Fitness is providing a month’s free access to its range of online fitness videos to support the national Change4Life initiative. Available online at http://www.thinqfitness.com/, the videos are aimed at celebrating health for men, women and children to help impact the health related issues of obesity and heart disease linked with inactivity and poor diet.
Access to the family, age and gender focused workouts include a high BMI programme, together with strategies suggested by the recent government campaign, including inexpensive ways for families to exercise together and an ‘Eat Slim Lunchbox’ for parents.
With limited household budgets many families are unable to achieve improved health through local fitness services. Change 4 Life partnered with ThinQ Fitness earlier this year to address this by offering a professional exercise site, with inexpensive subscription fees, to families with limited cash or access to gym facilities.
The content aims to get families together for regular exercise and users can comment on how they are getting on by using the comments section at the bottom of the web page. There is also a section in the forum where children and families can get their Change4Life questions answered.
Lucy Case, Fitness Director at ThinQ Fitness comments; “The gym is fine for people who fit a certain health and financial criteria, but it doesn’t cater for the many who have limited budgets, special health requirements or specific exercise preferences. Our partnership with Change 4 Life offers an affordable alternative with workouts for those with high BMI, the elderly, children, teens and parents alike. ”
Change 4 Life are offering the free content as part of ThinQ Fitness channel, which offers online interactive fitness content and ‘one stop’ gym resources using the latest online video technology. Users can use their PCs or laptops or connect them to their TVs, to interact with workout presenters on sessions including fat loss, step, yoga, pilates, pre/post natal, and gym, holistic or dance.
The channel also allows interaction with other members and offers healthy lifestyle news and articles plus access to social networking features, giving users a single location for all their fitness needs.
