What is Get Active Havant?

 

Just by doing 30 minutes a day you will feel fitter, healthier and happier and the good news is you don't even have to do it all at once!

 

If you have a hectic lifestyle or you are starting exercise for the first time, you can break it into more manageable chunks like 2 x 15 minutes a day.

 

Physical activity is not all about playing sport. It is any activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and improves overall health. There are many ways you can spend your 30 minutes:

• Walking the kids to school or walking / cycling to work
• Gardening or housework
• Taking the stairs
• Exercise class
• Having a kick about in the garden
• Having a dance
• Horse riding

You may find that you are almost doing the recommended 5 x 30 minutes as part of your normal week so you may just need to fit in one more activity!

 

Being more active is safe for most people, however you should ask your doctor’s advice before starting any kind of physical activity programs, if you haven’t done much exercise for a while or have had a recent illness or injury.
