The 5th – 11th September this year, is the time to celebrate Women’s Health Week. It’s the one week of the year when we stop to focus on Women’s Health. Most importantly, we are encouraging all women across Australia to set aside some time for themselves to focus on their own health and wellbeing. Whist women can get stuck in the day to day routine of looking after their kids and families, this is the week to focus on you.
Use this week as an excuse to book in a health check, relax, take time for yourself, get active, start a fitness plan, join a group, or meet up with a friend. It’s a week to focus on your own health and wellbeing, however that may look.
It’s all about you!
