Tips to increasing physical activity:

• Getting recommended dose doesn’t have to be all in one block. Example: 3 x 10 minutes walks throughout the day just as good as 30 minutes continuous
• Be less sedentary—try standing or moving often
• If waiting after school—get out of the car and walk around
• Park further from the shops
• Use comfortable shoes
• Take earphones and listen to music
• Walk with a buddy
• Embed it in your daily activity (walk while waiting for your child, walk after lunch, take up a physical activity like gardening)
• Do something you enjoy
• Exercise with family or friends/ join a team
• Schedule into your diary like an appointment
• Prioritise exercise- looking after yourself is looking after your family
• Swap childcare duties with partner/family to allow time to exercise
