Top tips for being active • Walk for short journeys rather than take the car
(the council’s Travel Planning team can help). The average person will walk a mile in 15 minutes.
• Walk at a brisk pace that makes you breathe a bit faster, feel a bit warmer and your heart beat a bit faster. You should still able to talk comfortably.
• Take the stairs rather than use lifts. Walking up stairs counts as vigorous level activity, the same as running!
• Get off the bus or train a stop earlier and walk the rest of the way.
• Try the ‘One You’ free Active 10 app, it will help you plan short brisk walks into your day.
• Take part in one of the brilliant opportunities in this programme – there are activities for all ages and abilities, including absolute beginners!
• Remember, it’s never too late. Whatever your age, being more active will bring huge benefits. Start small, and build up gradually.
