Remember, building a healthier lifestyle doesn’t need to begin with a trip to the gym. Simple things like walking more have been shown to improve our health. So why not aim to increase the steps you’re taking each day? Simple tips include getting off the bus a stop earlier, parking your car in a space further away from your destination, and taking the stairs as opposed to lifts or escalators.

Getting into a new exercise routine may also be easier with a friend. Research has shown that those becoming active as a group have an increased chance of maintaining their exercise routine. Group exercise classes can be a fantastic way of meeting new people, having fun, and an easy way to burn calories!
