<p>On Saturday 4th June, at 2.30pm, David Lammy MP officially opened the free MoreFit Bootcamp which will run Saturdays throughout the year in Finsbury Park.</p>
<p>With sessions tailored for all ages and abilities, local residents are encouraged to come along and get fit while having fun. </p>
<p>MoreFit Bootcamp will run for 1 hour every Saturday at 2.30pm with participants working in three groups tailored to their fitness levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. The sessions are designed to be fun and boost motivation by working out in a group environment. </p>
<p>The MoreFit trainers will also be on hand to provide advice on nutrition, weight loss and individual exercise plans. Kids’ Bootcamp, for children aged 8-16, will begin in late June. </p>
<p>David Lammy, MP for Tottenham said: “At a time when many people in the community are struggling financially, the MoreFit Bootcamp is a great initiative that will allow access to exercise for all without the need for expensive gym memberships. With nearly 1 in 4 adults suffering from obesity today, it’s important for us to look after ourselves and make sure exercise is a part of our weekly routine.” </p>
<p>Shamir Sidhu, 33, founder of local business MoreFit, said: “It can be hard to stay healthy these days when many of us have sedentary jobs and rely on processed foods. I believe that exercise is essential to maintaining balance in life – it helps to combat stress, fight depression and boost self-esteem. I’ve set up the free Bootcamp in Finsbury Park with the MoreFit team to give everyone the opportunity to get involved; whether you’re already a keen exercise enthusiast or feeling really out of shape, come and train with us every Saturday and I guarantee you’ll see results over the summer.” </p>
<p>Local resident Lorna Hoey,65, who attended MoreFit kick-off sessions in the park in May said: “Determined to get fit in my retirement years, I nevertheless went along to the Bootcamp feeling a bit nervous. I found myself in a large group of friendly people of all ages. Thankfully there's no military-style shouting involved, and the emphasis is on fun. The instructor for my beginners group was quite happy to allow me to ‘sit out’ any exercise I felt was too demanding, while at the same time encouraging everyone to push themselves a little. For me, who hated exercise, the fact that I really enjoyed it came as a welcome surprise and after four weeks I can definitely feel the difference!” </p>

<p>According to the NHS, the latest Health Survey for England (HSE) data shows us that nearly 1 in 4 adults, and over 1 in 10 children aged 2-10, are obese. In 2007, the Government-commissioned Foresight report predicted that if no action was taken, 60% of men, 50% of women and 25% of children would be obese by 2050. Obesity can have a severe impact on people’s health, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and heart and liver disease. There is also a significant burden on the NHS - direct costs caused by obesity are estimated to be £4.2 billion per year and forecast to more than double by 2050 if we carry on as we are.</p>
