Vitality Talks: Gabby Logan and finding time to get active
For International Women’s Day, Gabby Logan sat down with Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, Dr Simi Pam, FiiT’s Gede Foster and Vitality’s Mental Health Lead Yetunde Bankole to discuss the barriers stopping women getting active
Recent research from Vitality revealed that less than one in four women are getting the recommended level of weekly physical activity and only 4% are taking part in team sports.
Chief among the biggest barriers women face is time, given the busy lives many of us lead. However the good news is that with the rise of flexible working and growing awareness of the benefits of getting staff active, it’s clear that employers have an important role to play.
For International Women’s Day, Gabby Logan sat down with a panel of leading ladies in the world of sport, fitness and wellbeing, including Vitality Ambassador Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, to unpack the many challenges women face and explore tips to get active in a way that works best for them.
Hosted as part of Vitality Talks, a monthly webinar in our Wellbeing Calendar, available to staff through our business health insurance plans, you can watch the full conversation on demand below.
