The Healthy Eating, Activity and Lifestyle (HEAL™) program is an 'entry level' program helping adults of all ages and fitness levels develop lifelong healthy lifestyle habits. Learning to exercise safely is your first step to fitness, learning about nutrition gives you skills to eat better.
If you feel unhealthy or believe you could be eating and exercising better, then HEAL is the program for you.
The City of Cockburn partners with the Cockburn Healthy Lifestyle Service (CHLS) to deliver the HEAL Program.
HEAL is a group program presented by Allied Health Professionals, run over a 6 (or 8) week period, with 2 contact hours per week including:
-
1 hour of gentle exercise - low-moderate intensity physical activity at your own pace, that anyone can do.
