Add one set of stairs to your day
On your way to work or at the shopping centre, take the stairs instead of the escalator or the lift. This is a small change that can make a big difference.
Use active travel
Your time getting to and from places is time when you can boost your weekly activity. If you are able to, ride your bike to work or help your kids ride scooters to school and walk alongside them. Use the Cycleway Finder to look for a safe cycleway near you.
Trade in one half hour of screen time this week.
The time you spend sitting in front of the TV or computer can have a bigger impact on your health than you think. Turn off the TV for a half hour one night this week and use the time to try a new healthy recipe or go for a walk.
Plan an activity with someone this week
Being active doesn’t have to be a chore. It is a great excuse to get out and catch up with friends and family. Plan ahead with someone to go for a walk after work, go for a swim at your local pool or explore a new part of your local area
