Women hoping to don their ladies fitness wear in order to get more active in the future might be keen to hear about new funding which is due to be offered to various sports facilities in the capital.

Boris Johnson, the city's mayor, has revealed that financial support will be provided to a total of 13 projects by the Playsport London Facilities Fund.

Discussing the funding scheme, Mr Johnson noted that he wants to see a greater number of people get active in the future.

He stated: "By working with local organisations, we aim to get inert Londoners off their sofas and involved in a range of activity, and to achieve a true Olympic and Paralympic legacy."

People might be encouraged to improve their fitness as a result of the capital's hosting of the 2012 Olympic Games, with tickets for the event due to be made available in March of next year.
