Meet Karolina

Karolina's current experience with physical activity revolves around being the Director and active member of the Femina Polskie Centrum, a group for Polish women in Leicester. Engaging in exercise classes with fellow mums and women has been an integral part of Karolina's routine, as the group prioritises staying active whilst fostering a sense of community and support.

In Karolina's daily life, she incorporates physical activity by participating in classes with her children. From a walk in the park to group workouts, she finds joy in staying active as a collective. As a group, they tackle the challenges of being away from our families by creating a supportive environment where we can lean on each other.

Despite the distance from their families, Femina Polskie Centrum has become a substitute family for its participants, offering companionship and encouragement. The shared commitment to staying active has helped overcome barriers, fostering a sense of confidence and motivation within their community.

Engaging in regular exercise contributes significantly to Karolina's mental well-being. The camaraderie and shared experiences with Femina Polskie Centrum serve as powerful stress relievers, promoting a positive mindset. The group dynamic not only makes physical activity enjoyable but also provides a platform for emotional support.
