What you can do
Being physically active is easier than you think, especially if you make activity part of your daily routine. Our modern lifestyles are very different to how our parents and grand-parents lived. A lot more people drive to work, school and shops than ever before, as well as enjoy leisure activities that involve sitting, such as watching TV and using computers.
