Only two and a half hours a week… that’s the same time as long films last or just five episodes of Eastenders… and the amount of exercise over a week that the NHS recommends we all do. 

There is strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and even happier life.  People who do regular activity have a lower risk of many chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and some cancers.

With the warmer weather, May is a great month to build a little more exercise into our daily routines.
