Let’s Get Moving

Motivating yourself to move more can feel like a chore, but it doesn’t have to be.

The most important thing to remember is to choose an activity that you find fun. Look for a type of physical activity that you’re likely to enjoy and suits your lifestyle.

Start slowly and build up, even small changes can have a big impact. Ultimately, being active is about finding what works for you.

Whatever your age, there’s strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life.

Remember, if you have any medical conditions or concerns about getting more active speak to your GP first.

Some inspiring stories to encourage you on your ‘move more’ journey…

Chris Bally and his 3 girls

Chris Bally's love of open-water swimming

I have way more energy, I feel a lot stronger, more confident and I’ve lost 2-stone in about 12 months just from exercise and good eating habits.

I’m now a huge advocate of the mental health benefits that exercise brings, especially outdoors exercise and I’ve seen first-hand how this bonds all of us.

If you’re struggling to exercise now that the weather is getting colder – you’re not alone.

Let’s face it, going running or walking on a cold, dark winter morning doesn’t sound appealing.

Never look at movement as a chore from Millie Mayhew, professional dancer and personal trainer

Try to view it [exercise or moving more] as an escape, a small chunk of time for yourself.

Don’t do it to punish yourself.
