Muscle Month
Can you give some time to help the NeuroMuscular Centre?
There are so many benefits to physical and mental exercise, and we’ve been inspired to make it our Muscle Month theme for 2023!
This year we’re asking you to pick a physical and a mental exercise – see our example ideas! – to complete across June. We suggest doing an hour of each every week, but you can more hours or exercises if you like!
Whether you’d like to use our ideas or come up with your own, join #TeamNMC and help us to raise important funds, all whilst feeling the benefits of physical and mental exercise.
Muscle Month will be running throughout June, so there’s plenty of time to complete your challenge!
