IS GETTING MORE ACTIVE
THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU IN 2017?
BY PIPPA SARGENT, FIT FOR ME CAMPAIGN
Most of us will indulge in some good food and
drink this festive season, as is the tradition. While
we might have the odd party or two to enjoy, time
off is often spent relaxing with our feet up.
WHY NOT MAKE YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION TO:
•
Walk more with friends or family Take advantage of
Liverpool’s amazing parks by going for a walk with friends
or family. It’s a great way to be more active and have a good
catch up.
•
Take a walk every time you take the bin out Walking up
and down your street when you take the bin out is a great
way to add ten minutes of activity to your routine.
•
Get on or off the bus one stop early Adding a walk to your
bus rides not only helps you to be more active, it also gives
you time to clear your head.
•
Leave the car at home If you’re going shopping or meeting
up with friends nearby, why not try walking instead of
jumping straight in the car? This could really help you to be
more active and feel good in 2017.
•
Dance through 2017 Dancing is a great way to be more
active. You could try going to a dance class or just stay at
home, switch on your radio and go for it!
•
Walk the kids to or from school Add some extra walking
to your daily routine and set a good example to the
children. Even if you have to take the car or bus, why not
stop a little further away and enjoy a brief walk.
•
Choose the stairs instead of the lift Taking the stairs is a
great way to being active into your daily routine. It’s not a
big change but it can really help you have a more active life.
•
Try something new Doing something you’ve not done
before, like Zumba or Clubbercise, can be daunting but
going with friends or family can make it easier and fun too.
•
Play a sport with your friends It doesn’t matter whether
it’s football, rounders or bowls, getting together for a game
is a great way to be more active and have a laugh.
