'Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going’
Jim Ryun
Who ever said physical activity is all work and no play? In fact, it can be just the opposite! There is no need to think of running marathons, cycling the Tour de France or swimming the Channel. Instead, imagine doing fun physical activities you enjoy and watch the health benefits follow!
Despite the proven benefits of physical activity, only 22% of people in Gloucestershire do the minimum activity required to benefit their health. Just knowing that physical activity is good for us doesn't mean that we'll easily be able to make it part of our daily routines—it's sometimes difficult to adopt new habits. But it's important to remember that you can start out slowly and work your way up to a higher level of activity.
