The Series of Movement Training Sessions in Võru Municipality Encouraged People to Move Together

This summer, a series of movement training sessions took place in Võru municipality, aiming to encourage people to move more and providing simple tips for daily physical activity. The training sessions were led by Kertu Ränkel, Anti Saarepuu, and Asko Saarepuu.

The movement training sessions took place in ten locations across Võru municipality: at Parksepa singing stage, Orava singing stage, Väimela stadium, Vastseliina high school stadium, near Lasva community center, near Osula school, at Puiga school stadium, near Navi community center, at Kääpa school stadium, and at Kose sports ground. Over 60 people participated in the series. The training sessions were designed to suit participants of all ages and different physical abilities. It was a joy to see that many people attended the training repeatedly, indicating that movement offers something good for both the body and soul. The participants included both elderly and preschool children, confirming the principle of the training sessions - movement is truly for everyone.

During this summer with varying weather, a wide range of weather conditions were experienced during the training sessions - from sunny weather to heavy rain, but the motivation did not wane. People showed dedication and enthusiasm even in rainy weather. As the legendary coach Laur Lukin said: "Rain doesn't stop haymaking, let alone training!"

In addition to a good movement experience, many participants also gained new knowledge and exercises to continue independently. In many places, the training sessions turned into pleasant meetings where thoughts on health, movement, and lifestyle were shared.

"All you need for movement is the will and initiative. Movement strengthens health, improves mood, and creates community bonds and shared joy of action," said Asko Saarepuu, the sports coordinator of Võru Municipality's Cultural and Youth Center, who led the series of movement training sessions.

The series of movement training sessions in Võru municipality took place in collaboration between Võru municipality and Võru municipality's Cultural and Youth Center as part of the project "Development of Sports in Võru Municipality." A big thank you to all participants and see you at new movement events - let's keep moving forward together!
