I move about at lunchtime – walking or playing sports . Choose an item .

Where possible , you should aim to achieve always / often in every section across the three categories . These actions / behaviours will help build your physical resilience which is extremely important for the exam season . Don ’ t worry if you ’ re not doing all ( or any ) of these things at the moment , try focusing on one at a time to build your resilience .
