Importance of exercise
Exercise has many benefits in terms of your health.
You can think of the following:
- It’s good for your brain and memory,
- You have less stress,
- It’s good for a healthy heart
- You get more energy.
In addition, sports can play an important role in integration into society. You meet other people and learn to work with people from a different culture while exercising. It is not without reason that it is said that “sport brings people together”. These are the positive effects of sports.
For the above reasons, we find sports in Ridderkerk important and we try to stimulate this in all kinds of ways.
The Gemeente Ridderkerk has concluded a sports agreement with a number of authorities and sports providers. This sports agreement pays special attention to getting status holders to exercise as well.
There can be various reasons why status holders cannot exercise. One reason could be that it costs too much. There is a solution for that. The Gemeente Ridderkerk issues the Ridderkerk pass to people with a low income. This can be used to pay costs for sports, for example sports shoes or the membership fee of a club.
All in all, enough reasons to take up sports and look for a sports club that suits you best. And if you don’t want to go directly to a sports club, there are also organizations in Ridderkerk that organize free sports activities. Just ask your buddy about it. And if you don’t have one, contact us and we’ll help you out.
