Active At Home

Lots of information and ideas on how to keep yourself healthy and active whilst staying at home or working from home.

Get & Stay Active At Home

Physical activity is more important than ever right now.

Being active in a way that is right for you can improve your physical health, help manage stress and anxiety, and just generally make you feel better.

Moving more and keeping active plays a part in creating a healthy lifestyle.

There are many ways that we can still remain active in our homes. The boxes below will support you to Make Your Move; whether that is home exercise classes, play sessions with the family, using an app or an outdoor walk.

Track how active you are with the Activity Tracker.

Adults / Older Adults - aim to take part in 150 minutes of physical activity a week

Children & Young People - aim to take part in an average of 60 minutes physical activity a day

Under 5's - aim to take part in 3 hours physical activity a day

If you're unsure about your ability, it might be wise to start gradually and build up. Please feel free to refer to the UK Chief Medical Officer's Physical Activity Guidelines when determining the level of activity appropriate to you.

Make sure you warm up and cool down to prevent injury, and make sure you keep hydrated.

Stop the exercises immediately if you feel faint or unwell, and if you still feel dizzy or unwell have a rest. Next time try something less strenuous, building up your activity gradually.
