Getting Active
Getting active can help keep you and your Mob strong and deadly!
Regularly getting active can help improve the health of your body and your mind.

- Any exercise is better than none, so start slowly and build up. If you need to, do three 10-minute walks to make up half an hour of activity.
- Being active can help keep your mind strong by making you feel good and strong
- Choosing activities that you enjoy means you will be more likely to keep them up.
- Daily physical activity helps to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, helps prevent osteoporosis, and helps reduce obesity, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and symptoms of arthritis.
- Motivate and encourage your friends and family by being active together or in a group.
- Muscle strengthening activities are important – try to do these on at least two days a week. This could be made up of body weight exercises like squats, lunges, or push-ups, labour-intensive chores like gardening, or resistance training at the gym.
- Physical activity can be a great way to connect with your Mob and your family by playing games and enjoying time together.
- Physical activity can help prevent a range of health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and Type 2 diabetes.
