Use your feet - easy ways to be more active

Just walking is great exercise!

Mobiles, texts and email have all made catching up with friends and family easier. It’s made us a bit lazy too. So try using your feet instead of your phone, or computer, or just shouting. Go and speak to your friends and family - they’ll appreciate the effort and just getting up and about burns calories.

Off the bus
Walk to the next bus stop on from the one you usually get on at.
By the lift
Take the stairs instead of the lift.
On the phone
Walk to a friend’s house instead of chatting on the phone or online, or arrange to meet them in the park. It’ll save money too.
In your area
When it’s local, walk. Whether it’s grabbing some milk, picking up the kids, or something you get delivered locally, pick it up instead.
To school
Walk to school
After dinner
Get up and go for a walk before or after dinner, instead of vegging out.
