If you are going to keep it up, find ways of being active that you enjoy and that fit in with your daily life. Keep a record of how active you are at the moment. Some ways that other people have found useful to increase their daily activity are: 

Walking

• to the shops
• to collect the children from school
• taking a longer route to work
• parking the car further from the office
• fitting in a walk at lunchtime or in the evening

At Home

• Cleaning, polishing, dusting
• Not using the remote control -get up and move around during the adverts!
• Climbing the stairs more often
• Gardening

At Work

• Use the stairs instead of the lift
• Take regular breaks from your desk
• Take a walk at lunchtime

Think of ways of being more active that appeal to you.
