Act Belong Commit - 3 Tips to Make it Easier to be Active!

Physical activity can be beneficial for hearts, bodies & minds. These three tips may help you be active as you would like to be.

Make the most of the morning. If you are an early riser why not make the most of these lighter and brighter mornings and give exercise in the morning a go? Many group exercise classes are held in the morning, but if group exercise isn't your thing why not try out a new walking, running or cycling track. A change of scenery can be an easy way to add variety without adding too much extra planning.
Exercise with others. Working out with a friend (or even in group exercise) can make people more motivated to exercise as it also results in a fun social experience! It also has been found people are less likely to cancel if they have a commitment to others. Why not ask someone to join you on a walk or try a new group class.
Do something you enjoy. It is really important to do a type of exercise you enjoy. For example, don't swim if you prefer running or don't play a solitary sport if you prefer playing with a team.
