Staying active after the Challenge

Regular physical activity provides significant physical and mental health benefits. Finding more ways to move each day is a simple step towards better health and wellbeing. There are so many ways to be active in South Australia! Here are some tips to help you stay active after the Challenge:

  • If you use public transport, get off a stop early and walk the rest of the way.
  • Park your car a bit further than usual to add some extra steps.
  • Choose the stairs over lifts or escalators when possible.
  • Take your dog for a morning or afternoon walk around the neighbourhood.
  • Walk outside while you chat on the phone.
  • Remember to take regular breaks from sitting.
  • Schedule a time to meet a friend or family member for a walk and a coffee catch-up.
  • Get active indoors with yoga, pilates or a home workout from Exercise Right.
