🧵 2/4: Some ideas to try: ✅ Getting off the bus two stops earlier and walking the rest of your journey ✅ Some squats while waiting for the kettle to boil ✅ A walk around the park at lunchtime Remember to speak to your GP if you have any health concerns, and build up slowly.

🧵 1/4: We all know that regular exercise is beneficial for us, but committing to an exercise plan can feel like a huge undertaking, especially in January! 👉🏻 The good news is that smaller chunks could be just as good for you as a 30-minute session of exercise - great news!
