Sport Ireland Winter Initiative

The Winter Initiative campaign developed by Sport Ireland is a 90-day challenge across November, December and January encouraging participants to increase their daily activity over the course of the campaign.

The main aim of the program is to get as many people active as possible.

We need you to #getcavanactive this winter.

  • The challenge requires participants to track their chosen physical activity using minutes of exercises. This can be any form of sport or physical activity such as walking, running, cycling, gym class, dancing etc.
  • Participants track their daily activity through a downloadable exercise calendar provided by Cavan LSP with the aim of reaching 90 minutes of exercise per week which can be spread across the week or in 2/3 sessions.
  • The challenge will also promote a healthy lifestyle incorporating the 5 ways to wellbeing.
  • Participants who sign up for this initiative will receive the activity tracker calendar as well as weekly motivational messages & exercise tips via email.
