  • You are never too old to start being active.
  • There is always a way to fit some physical activity into your day.
  • Build exercise into your everyday activities by trying things like walking part of the way to work or taking the stairs instead of the lift.
  • Choose activities that are not weather-dependent on days when it might be too hot or too cold.
  • The best sort of physical activity is the one you enjoy because that is the one that you will maintain.
