New Change4Life action plans may encourage more Welsh women to don their ladies fitness clothing, by providing them with exercise guidance.

After applying to receive personalised plans earlier in the year, 8,500 of the country's parents might now benefit from the advice contained within them.

While the packs will hopefully inspire adults to put on their gym clothing and enjoy some physical activity, families will also be shown some of the ways in which children might become less sedentary.

The chief medical officer in Wales, Dr Tony Jewell, has noted the importance of the Change4Life scheme.

He commented: "Change4Life gives us all an opportunity to make one or two changes in our lifestyle to improve our health."

People might also be encouraged to enjoy some physical activity in the open air following comments made by Richard Colwill, spokesperson for Sane.

He thinks that people's health may improve if they exercise more in green spaces.
