The Importance of Physical Activity

Before starting a new exercise routine, it's advisable to consult your GP, especially if you haven't been active for a while or if you have specific medical concerns. They can provide guidance on appropriate activities and intensity levels tailored to your fitness level and health status.

Remember that something is better than nothing, even if it is just breaking up long periods of sitting with regular walks around the house or doing some exercises in your chair. If you’re already reasonably active, you still need to make sure your strength, balance and bone health are at their best. Tai chi, dancing, swimming and bowls are all great options and choosing something you enjoy will help you make it part of a routine.
