Incidental physical activity

You can incorporate physical activity into your daily lifestyle by making a few small changes, such as:

  • Walk or cycle to the local shops instead of taking the car.
  • Get off the bus (or train) at an earlier stop and walk the rest of the way.
  • Wash your car yourself instead of taking it to the carwash.
  • Take the stairs instead of the lift.
  • Don’t forget that having sex is a form of exercise too.
