A fitness scheme being run in Merseyside is offering women the chance to don their ladies fitness wear and enjoy some exercise.

The Bolton News has reported that the Fire Fit initiative, which has the support of Merseyside Fire Service, offers local residents the chance to enjoy things like gym sessions and boxing sessions.

Householders may be able to reduce their risk of suffering from fires by improving their levels of fitness, according to the fire service's Peter Rushton.

He is reported by the news provider as saying: "Finding ways to engage with young people is absolutely central to what we do."

Meanwhile, those looking to improve their fitness by donning their ladies fitness wear a bit closer to home might benefit if they choose to make use of the Wii Fit Plus, a spokesperson for the product recently suggested.

It could prove useful to those who have busy lives, the source added.
