Getting Active

For those with a Health Condition

When you’re managing a long-term health condition, it can be more difficult to get active. However small increases in your level of physical activity can have a positive effect on your health and wellbeing and may help you to manage your symptoms.

Being active is about finding what works well for you. That might mean starting small and growing your levels gradually.

Getting Started

Being active is about finding what works well for you. That might mean starting small and growing your levels gradually. Anything that gets you moving will be beneficial for your health. This could be incorporating more movement into your daily routine, with everyday activities such as housework or walking to the shop.  Or it might be you feel able to do a more energetic activity such as swimming, cycling or running. However you choose to move, it’s best to find something you enjoy as you’re more likely to keep it up.

Team Sports

Getting active with others as part of a team sport, fitness class or group, can be a fantastic way to improve your wellbeing as well as meeting new people.

If you’re worried about your fitness levels, look out for sessions that are suitable for beginners, and speak to the class leader/ instructor before you start. You might also be able to find specific classes aimed at people with certain health conditions that would be more tailored to you. Walking Sports are gentler way to enjoy being active as part of a team.
