Getting active on your own can be hard, especially if you can’t get motivated. Why not join one of our challenges such as Take 10 or Step it up. Share your progress with us via our social media and get to know others also taking the challenge.
Having peer support is a great way to keep us motivated.
Keep moving
If you find yourself sitting at home a lot, then try to get up and move regularly and if that’s not possible then even moving your arms and legs for a few moments can help.
You’d be surprised how much activity you can generate by walking more frequently between rooms in your home or even walking a different route round your local amenities. Purposefully walking around shops, malls and even taking an extra length of a supermarket isle can add up, particularly as extra activity this time of year.
