More movement in everyday life

More movement in everyday life

It does not have to mean a gym

Physical activity includes everyday movement: walking, cycling, active travel and activities around the home.

Start with something that fits

Regular movement supports physical and mental health. A short walk or a break from sitting can be a starting point. Choose something you are happy to repeat.

Work with your own circumstances

There is no single starting point for everyone. Adapt activity to your health and abilities. If you are unsure, ask a health professional for individual advice.

General information, not individual medical advice.
