How much should I move?
All movement counts! Simply walk or wheel to the shops or do some gardening and housework.
Our bodies are built to move, being active keeps us healthy and happy.
If you’re new to being active, do what you can to move more and sit less, and build up from there.
Make time to move for better health…
For around 20 minutes a day, do something you enjoy that gets you breathing a little faster, while you’re still able to chat…
…or for around 10 minutes when you’re breathing even faster, and it’s difficult to chat.
Increase your strength two times a week, things like yoga, lifting weights and even carrying the shopping can keep your muscles, bones, and joints strong.
If you’re over 65, it’s a good idea to add two weekly balancing activities to reduce frailty and falls, such as dance and tai chi.
