Nine easy ways to raise your physical activity levels and burn more calories. 1. Walk more
Walking is one of the easiest and most effective ways of increasing your activity. Find a walking pal or join a walking group.
2. Take the stairs
Walk up and down stairs and escalators instead of taking the lift, or get off the lift a few floors early and use the stairs.
3. Take up running
Our popular Couch to 5K running plan is designed to get just about anyone running 5km in nine weeks.
4. Exercise in your local park
5. Active Travel
Cycle or walk part, if not all, of your journey to work. Get off public transport a stop before your destination and walk the rest of the way.
6. Ditch the car
If you need to drive to work, try to park further away from your destination and walk the rest of the way.
7. Exercise at work
Exercise before or after work or during your lunch break. Your workplace may have a gym or you may have access to a swimming pool or squash courts.
8. Family fun
Be active with the family. Take your children to the swimming pool or play in the garden or park.
9. Green finger
Gardening can provide a good workout. You could also add a social element by getting an allotment.
