The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that all people regularly do activities that address each component of overall fitness: cardiovascular endurance through aerobic activity, strength through weight training, and flexibility achieved through stretching. Each of these types of exercise can improve our sense of psychological well-being. However, because the most profound effects on mental health are derived through aerobic activity, it is the major focus.

Do you ever get to the gym and just feel overwhelmed? You're supposed to warm up, do cardio, lift weights, cool down — and then stretch! How can you do all this in an hour? The answer, then, is to include many of these components together — not separate them — in a single workout. We at Castle Leisure want to use this single workout to start your day in a healthy way, help you reach those goals with a positive approach and mostly just get your body moving. So if you are struggling with your workouts or want to add variety to them then Body Blast Boot Camp is the answer.

Roscommon Golf Club was established in 1904. Located near the old Mote Park Estate on beautiful parkland, this outstanding 18 hole championship course is situated within half a mile of Roscommon town. Roscommon was originally a nine-hole course, but in 1991 the members bought an additional 58 acres of land and the course, under the guidance of Eddie Connaughton, architect, was extended to include nine additional holes. The blend of old and new has been a great success, creating an exciting and demanding new challenge over a 6,290 metre course.
