It's important to find something that is enjoyable and achievable for you.
Pick 'n' mix from the list below:
Walking – there are lots of ways to include more walking in your everyday life.
- Instead of meeting friends or family for a coffee why not suggest a walk or a trip to the shops?
- Avoid the traffic and leave the car at home for small trips.
- Get off the bus or train one or two stops earlier and walk the rest of the way.
- Park your car in the furthest spot in the car park.
- Instead of sitting at your desk in your lunch break go out and take a walk.
- Offer to take a friend's dog for a walk.
- Use the stairs instead of taking the lift.
Dancing – is becoming a more popular way to keep active and can be a great way to meet people. Why not try salsa, ceroc, belly dancing, Bhangra or even Bollywood dancing?
Swimming – is a great way to relax but if you want more fun water aerobics might just be up your street.
Household jobs –
- Get fit while sprucing up your garden.
- Boogie while you're hoovering.
- Doing DIY leads to health as well as home improvement.
Golf – walking briskly between 18 holes can really notch up some physical activity minutes and help you forget everyday stresses.
Join in with the kids – enjoy some fun with the children and join in with their activities, such as kicking a ball around the park – or what about rollerblading?
Bowling – walking the green or knocking down pins.
Cycling – a great way to explore the countryside.
