Free outdoor training: Ice bathing together in Leipzig!
Joint outdoor training takes place regularly in Leipzig, which aims to promote the health of the participants and make new contacts. The initiative is by Health meeting, led by Carsten Wölffling. This year-round offer is aimed at all fitness enthusiasts and interested parties, regardless of weather conditions.
The training takes place every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, begins at 8:15 a.m. with a functional training session lasting approximately 30 minutes and culminates in winter or ice bathing in the river from 8:45 a.m. Participation is free and non-binding, so anyone can simply show up. It is important that participants take their own responsibility and do not enter into any obligations. The focus is on having fun and enjoying movement.
What is on offer?
Outdoor training includes a variety of activities that promote fitness, strength, endurance, coordination and flexibility. The training is independent of the weather, which means it takes place even in snow, heat, rain or stormy weather. Participants should be appropriately prepared and bring sports clothing and a mat with them. You can optionally bring additional equipment such as tubes or skipping ropes.
For the subsequent winter bathing, it is advisable to bring a change of clothes, a towel, a warm drink, snacks such as a banana and bathing shoes. The event takes place at the White Elster near the yellow bridge on Pistorisstrasse. There is no need to register in advance, you can just show up.
Health and community
The focus on health and fitness is part of the overarching movement #HealthIsForAllDa, which aims to offer everyone in Leipzig free opportunities for healthy self-efficacy and to promote personal development and well-being.
