Walking Netball in Oxfordshire

General health and well-being can make a big difference to someone’s quality of life, whatever their age. Eating well and keeping fit are important. Walking Netball is ideal, as someone can start gently and build up gradually, aiming to do a little more each session. Older people who take part in Walking Netball will see many benefits: lower heart rate and blood pressure, less fat, more muscle and better mobility.
