TO BE ACTIVE

Every little bit of movement counts, so move, if even a little.

If you're too busy for a regular workout, just look for opportunities to be in motion.

Research shows that a significant number of health benefits come from all those extra steps you take during a day.

'Moving' ideas include:

General walking or dog walking every day.

Take the stairs instead of the lift.

At home, don't shout up the stairs - go on up!

Get up and talk with co-workers, rather than always sending e-mails.

Try a social or business meeting outside and make it a walking meeting.

Keep walking or training shoes close to hand. With comfortable shoes your feet can be your main mode of transportation.

Walk briskly whenever you can.

Look for a game, activity or a sport that you may really enjoy. Take lessons or instruction to help maximise your enjoyment.
