September is healthy lifestyle month in Fuengirola with multiple activities to promote fitness and keeping in shape, promoted by the council.
The project named ‘Fuengirola en forma’ includes 18 different activity options including free open-air sports classes, an obstacle course, inclusive sports, hiking routes, a World Wellness Weekend and children’s games.
The hope is that local residents will begin to incorporate healthy fitness activities into the new post-summer routine and try out and learn some new sporty options. Ana Mula, mayor of Fuengirola explained that ‘Sports practice is well-being and quality of life. For this reason, Fuengirola is an ideal place to host events and competitions at all levels, and for promoting healthy habits among the population of Fuengirola, achieving higher levels of well-being in the town.’
