Healthy body

Good sport

Some people love sport at school - they get picked first for every team and are great at throwing, running and scoring goals. But even if you're not a potential Olympic athlete, you can still enjoy exercise. Here are some ways to have fun AND look after your body.

Team up

Do you love team sports like football, netball and rounders? Improve your skills by joining a club, practising (with a friend, brother, sister or parent), or getting a book or dvd out of the library. Or you could go on a course and wow all your mates with your skills!

Sporty fun

If team sports aren't your thing, then there's loads of sporty fun you can have just on your own or with a friend. Choose from swimming, in-line skating, biking, martial arts, frisbee, skateboarding, running or aqua aerobics - and that's just for starters.

Funky sports

If you'd like to try a more unusual sport, then London has loads to offer, from underwater hockey and wrestling to trampolining and Tae Kwon Do.
