From Days with Energy to Sundays in Shape municipal programmes, let's exercise and stay healthy

Autumn settles in, so the municipal programme Days with Energy (Dias com Energia) and "Sundays in Shape" (Domingos em Forma) are now held indoors, in municipal pavilions to guarantee the participant's comfort. 

Access is free, as usual, but due to the pandemic, the number of participants is limited, social distancing must be observed and registration is mandatory.

The Municipal Programme "Days with Energy" invites everyone to Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi sessions. You only need to wear comfortable clothes.

This is the perfect opportunity to boost one's own energy and inner stamina, following a hectic week. Take a deep breath and schedule the programme in your agenda.

The "Days with Energy" Municipal Programme is a municipal project aimed at promoting physical activity and raising awareness on the importance of staying active and living a healthy lifestyle.

In addition to the usual sessions at the Fontes Pereira de Melo Pavilion, the programme will extend to three other pavilions within the municipal network - Lagarteiro, Nicolau Nasoni and Viso - under a partnership with the Department for Social Cohesion and the AIIA Programme (Integrated Approach towards Active Inclusion) and the "Porto com Corpo & Alma" activity.

The activity is not recommended to people over 60 years, with chronic diseases and pregnant ladies.
