Regular physical activity of moderate
intensity - such as walking, cycling, or
doing sports - has significant benefits for
health. At all ages, the benefits of being
physically active outweigh potential harm,
for example through accidents. Some
physical activity is better than doing none.
By becoming more active throughout the
day in relatively simple ways, people can
quite easily achieve the recommended
activity levels.
