I want to be more active - where do I start?
Start by recording the amount of physical activity you do at present. Ask yourself:
- what do I do?
- when do I do it?
- who do I do it with?
- how long does it take?
- how often do I do it?
- why do I do it/do I enjoy it?
Do you do the activity every day for 30 minutes?
If ‘YES’ Keep it up! It is especially important to maintain your activity levels now.
If NO, work on the activity or activities you enjoy and think of ways of building up to 30 minutes every day. Build up gradually over a number of weeks otherwise you will feel tired and the activity will become a chore. Try to vary the activities and routes.
