Exercise and Movement

Being active is really good for all of us but you may not be sure of how much to do to get a real benefit.  The UK Chief Medical Officers report (2019) outlined recommendations for the amount and type of activity that adults and older adults should participate in to really get some benefit (Guidelines Infographic). 

If you have any queries about your medical suitability for exercising please discuss this with a healthcare professional.
