We're always told being active is the secret ingredient to health and happiness, and it can help us reduce the risk of everything from cancer to heart disease. But for some of us, just walking up the stairs is hard.
However you're feeling right now, and whatever you're dealing with, we can help you get moving more so you'll feel better for longer. Learn the best way to keep your body moving using the links below.
It doesn't have to be difficult to stay active at home. Why not try a physical activity video you can move along with?
Life with a health condition can make getting active challenging, and some days it's not as easy to get up and go. But when you find something that works for you, a little bit goes a long way.
Age UK is proud to be part of the We Are Undefeatable campaign, helping to show that when you're living with a long-term health condition, every step forward is a step in the right direction.
Whether you’re living with a health condition or supporting someone who does, finding little ways to move more throughout the day can make all the difference. Taking a few more steps on your walk or stretching during the ad breaks all adds up.
The We Are Undefeatable campaign has lots of ideas, inspiration and resources over on their website.
Lots of local Age UKs run exercise classes – ranging from more sedate chair-based exercise to nostalgic ballroom dancing and heart-pounding Zumba! Enter your postcode to find your local Age UK, and see what they offer.
