Quick activity tips

•Take any opportunities you get to walk about while at work.

•During a break at work, go for a walk/ stretch and move your arms and legs around your workstation.

•If work is getting too busy and you miss an activity session, don’t worry. Try your best to get back to your activity plan as soon as possible.

•Take the stairs instead of the lift.

•Wash the car by hand instead of taking it to the car wash.

•Walk or cycle for short errands rather than taking the car.

•Throw away the remote control!


HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO BE ACTIVE???
