Ways to exercise

Finding it hard to fit in a gym session between studies? There’s lots of ways to keep active throughout out the day.  Some of these can be:

• Take a walk around the playground. If you have time during your breaks at school or college take a walk around the playground.  Even 10 minutes a day will have an effect on your physical health. 
• Change the way you get there.  If you don’t live far away, swap the bus or car for a walk or even a bike.  This again will have health benefits. It’ll also save you some money!
• Motivate yourself. You may have to get up earlier or miss your favourite television programme, but realistically during your day there will be at least a 30 minute slot where you can fit a workout session in, whether that is a run around the block or a workout at the gym!
