It’s easier than you think to improve your health. Keeping active can really help.

Physical inactivity is a major cause of disease and disability for adults, but a brisk 10 minute walk every day can make a difference to your health. A new Public Health England campaign, Active 10, is encouraging people to steadily increase their exercise each day.

Each 10 minutes of exercise is known as an “Active 10”. Brisk walking is just one example. By walking at a faster pace you get your heart pumping and you are taking steps to improve your health. Start with a 10-minute brisk walk a day and then see if you can gradually build up to more.
