Be Active
Fun, Friendship and Fitness
Keeping active is one of the most important things that we can do to continue living life to the full, and can:
- Help you feel fit, strong and energised
- Improve your sleep, mood and help you to feel positive
- Help you stay socially connected
What do we mean by being active?
When we think about being active, we don’t mean you have to be out running or lifting weights at the gym. We mean moving more.
Find something that works for you. You can wear whatever you’re comfortable in, whether you’re moving at home, joining an exercise class, or getting outside to try a new activity with a friend. There is something for everyone.
Five tips to improve your activity
1. Doing something, however small, is better than nothing
2. Build up slowly to make it achievable
3. Try something you enjoy
4. Add strength and balance to your routine
5. Try to challenge yourself
“There is no situation, there is no age and no condition where exercise is not a good thing”
– Professor Chris Whitty
