Getting active can take as little as thirty minutes of aerobic activity a day - physical activity that uses the heart, lungs and large muscles over a period of time such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, step aerobics, cycling, dancing, active sports, and physically demanding housework and gardening. To get started, try and be more active at home each day. You will be surprised how a walk to the shops and some gardening can add up to thirty minutes of activity in your day.
Once you start to be active regularly you might find something comes up that breaks your routine.The key is to treat setbacks as temporary and to get going again as soon as you can.
