Being active doesn’t mean going to the gym or finding extra time in your day. It can be part of everyday life — like walking to the shops, dancing at home, or spending time outdoors.

• Activities like walking, swimming or gardening all count
• Even a little more activity can improve physical health and wellbeing
• Being active can boost mood, energy and help you feel more connected to others
