Today’s challenge is to get active together. Why not plan a socially distanced walk with a friend or plan an active activity with the family, like exploring your local green areas or canals or make a splash swimming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is it important to get active together?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many reasons why physical activity is important for health. However, being active together has a number of additional benefits, such as helping us:develop social skills;<\/p> -learn a new activity or sport;<\/p> -work as a team;<\/p> -enjoy new experiences;<\/p> -establish active habits for later years;<\/p> -look after our mental health;<\/p> -encouraging behaviour change through working together and setting targets.<\/p> We may be more likely to stick to being active if we have the motivation of others. Getting active together can be a great way to socialise and can be a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends. It is also a way of making new friends and feeling part of a community.<\/p>(BNF)<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
