Things you can try in your daily life to keep you and your family fit and healthy

Walk for around 20 minutes a day e.g., walk to work or to the shops. It is a good activity to do as a family too, as you can chat as you walk.
Exercise doesn’t have to be boring! Play active games, run around the park, or dance around the living room.
Try a new sport or activity all the family can enjoy e.g. football, tennis or swimming.
