GET MOVING This need not be sport, if sport is not your thing. Just walking briskly for 10 minutes counts towards your total. In fact, all activity that raises your heart-rate counts, including things like gardening, walking or playing with children in the park. The council provides support to help people start cycling or walking; and there is free outdoor gym equipment available in many parks.

There is something for everyone.
