Being active is not all about getting sweaty and running on treadmills.

There are so many ways of being active – it's just a case of finding something you enjoy so you’re more likely to stay interested. Remember, anything that gets you moving counts. Join forces. Exercise with friends, relatives, neighbours or co-workers. You'll enjoy the camaraderie and the encouragement of the group. Variety is important. Try and incorporate several activities into your normal day-to-day lifestyle such as walking, cycling and taking the stairs.
