Wellbeing – Active Enjoyment

Ringing is an excellent all-round activity for your wellbeing:

Fun and social enjoyment:

• Enjoyable and exhilarating.
• Meditative – Relax and de-stress (great after a busy day).
• Social wellbeing – Make great and lasting friendships.
• All-year, all-weather activity.
• Sense of belonging – to your team and the worldwide ‘family’ of ringers.
• Feel welcomed as a friend anywhere you visit to ring.

Mind and body:

• Gentle aerobic activity – good for the heart but not strenuous.
• Improves core strength and provides a good stretch.
• Tones muscles, particularly in the arms (and may reduce bingo wings!).
• Also good for leg muscles at towers with lots of steps!
• Improves co-ordination and agility.
• Exercises the mind.
