jogscotland is a partnership between scottishathletics, HEBS and sportscotland, three national organisations from health and sport working together to help many people in Scotland adopt a healthier and more active lifestyle:
. why be more active ?
By exercising gently and regularly people can have more energy, make new friends, enhance self-esteem, help long-term weight loss and enjoy better sleep
Being more active can also have specific health benefits by reducing the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, strokes, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and osteoporosis (brittle bones).
And can also relieve depression, anxiety and mood swings, prolong independence as people get older and give people more time for themselves.

A slight change in lifestyle can make a big difference to health at any time and whatever age. jogscotland can assess people's needs and ensure the appropriate level of activity.
. three in one
The members of jogscotland receive three main types of support; INFORMATION, GUIDANCE and COMPANY, all designed to assist each members to improve their health and well-being in an enjoyable and safe environment.
