Moving more
However you choose to move, it’s all good for your health and wellbeing. Try building activity into your day, like taking the stairs and walking more.
The benefits of physical activity outweigh the risks. Regular physical activity, along with standard medical care, is important for managing and preventing many long-term conditions.
Those who are least active stand to benefit the most in terms of their health and happiness by getting active.
