Physical Activity

Slimming World encourages members to introduce physical activity into their daily lives through its body magic program. The emphasis is on introducing activity gently at first, such as getting off the bus a stop early a couple of times a week or walking up two flights of steps instead of taking the lift occasionally. Members can achieve body magic awards. There are bronze, silver, gold and platinum awards.

This isn’t about pushing yourself to the limits, getting up at 4am to go to the gym or running marathons (unless you want to of course!). We won’t ask you to join an exercise class at your group and you need never wear Lycra and there’s no judgement about how much or how little activity you do.


Whether you’re taking your first step or you already enjoy an active lifestyle you’ll get practical help to build up your activity in steady stages, find enjoyable activities for you and your family – and share your experiences with other members.

Food Optimising without exercise will result in weight loss – it’s guaranteed!

Food Optimising with exercise, however, will bring you even greater results. Your muscles will become more toned and firm. Your metabolism will increase so you’ll burn more energy – even when you’re resting. You’ll find your appetite is naturally suppressed and you could add between 1-2 stones to your weight loss over a year!

Magic For Your Motivation

Exercise has an amazing effect on mood and feelings of well-being. Increased energy levels, reduced stress and boosted self-confidence and self-esteem are just some of the wonderful benefits on offer – all of which make the positive change needed for lifelong weight loss success even easier.

Magic For Your Health

Independent of weight loss, regular moderate activity brings many health benefits, including:

• lower blood pressure and less risk of heart disease
• reduced risk of colon cancer, breast cancer and cancer of the uterus
• stronger bones and joints
• stronger muscles, better posture
• reduced risk of diabetes

You don’t have to do a tremendous amount of activity for it to be effective. It doesn’t matter where or when you start to build up your activity, the important thing is to begin to move more, more often. It’s all about gradual progression at your own pace.

Our unique awards system will motivate you towards your next activity goal and we’ll be right there to celebrate every milestone along your path to lifelong fitness.

Become An Award Winner

Whether you’re just starting out – taking a five minute walk to the shops a couple of times a week – or you’re an avid aerobics attendee, there’s a Body Magic award with your name on it. Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum – each standard gives you a goal to aim for, encouraging you to do a little more moderate activity a little more regularly.

The Magic Of Support

Just as you’ll share recipe ideas, menus, food tips and encouragement with your fellow members each week in your Slimming World group – your Consultant and friends will help you keep track of your progress, avoid pitfalls and keep a record of your achievements. We’ll help you focus on all the things you’ve worked for and we’ll share in your excitement and celebrate with you.
