Create an exercise routine

‍

Outcome

Let's start with why this is important:

a routine with healthy exercise will make you feel good about yourself
a routine after 30 days becomes a habit, so it will become part of your lifestyle easily
regular exercise improves your mental health

‍

It is recommended that you get at least 30 minutes each day of physical activity.

Some ideas to get you thinking

get off a train or tram stop earlier than you normally would and walk the rest of the way home
do a workout at home and ask those you live with to join in
try a dance routine on Tik Tok
when you talk to someone on the phone walk around, you'll be surprised how many steps you get in
go for a swim, a swim in the ocean/sea is always free but make sure there are lifeguards on duty or that you go with another person
ride a bike to your destination instead of a car, train or tram
