Press Release: 12th October 2015

HOW TO TURN UP THE HEAT & STAY ACTIVE IN THE COLDER MONTHS

Here’s a worrying statistic: 46% of UK adults* say they are active just once a month or less! (*of 2000 UK adults surveyed in activbod YouGov survey. Sept 2015). Determined not to see that figure rise as we go into the colder months, activbod know how to Turn up the Heat and help get everyone active.

activbod’s ‘Turn up the Heat roller gel’ is a hands free muscle rub which can be used to warm up before exercise and soothe post workout. Pop this on before your workout and the ginger, rosemary and vanillyl will gently warm your muscles so you’re ready to face the elements. Use it again when you return from the cold and the arnica and allantoin will help soothe and relieve tension.

This body and skin care range is specifically designed to help the body prepare for exercise, recover quicker and to encourage an active lifestyle. It won’t only give you the extra nudge you need to get out the door but might just help someone else do too. Dedicated to making a difference, activbod is currently being registered as a social enterprise with a significant proportion of profits going into improving sporting facilities.

Founded by Lara Morgan - entrepreneur, triathlete and mother of three – activbod’s mission is to encourage, inspire and reward active lifestyles. With some of the country’s most inspiring sports-people championing the brand, this is one start-up serious about raising the nation’s heart rate!
