WITH obesity and well-being big issues at the moment, encouraging people to live active and healthy lifestyles is getting more topical by the day.
Now there’s no excuse to avoid the subject when the Take 3 4 Life event comes to Wardown Park.
Billed as Luton’s largest health and fitness gathering, the day will be packed with free activities from football, rounders, tennis, cycling, swimming, dance and self-defense.
Encouraging adults to be active is the Take 3 4 Life’s aim, but don’t be put off by that as the events are open to everyone – and as if to prove their point, the good old fashioned egg and spoon and 3-legged races are in place for the family challenge!
Other events include It’s a Knockout, where people of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to enter a team of up to 12 members at a cost of £150 per group.
Health checks and a healthy eating demonstration will also be on offer.
For more information about the free events on Saturday, 12.15pm - 15.00pm in Wardown Park, call 01582 547319 or email karen.fletcher@luton.gov.uk
With its mellow beats and spiritual messages, reggae music has had a big UK following since the heady days of Bob Marley and Desmond Dekker.

In the 1966 World Cup you only got a winner's medal if you played in the final - so you’d think Jimmy Greaves, who was left out of the team, might have a few choice words to say on the subject.
But not so, and proof can be found when one of football's best-loved characters takes you on a stroll down memory lane with an evening of stories and anecdotes from his colourful life.
With the World Cup a matter of weeks away, get into the spirit and join Jimmy with his irrepressible humour and wit, and special guest Sir Geoff Hurst for an evening of fun.
Tickets for The Grove Theatre show on Monday from 6.45pm, cost £19.50 or £21 and are available at the box office on 01582 602080 or online at www.grovetheatre.co.uk
