If you want to be more physically active, these tips might help

● Body doubling/buddy system – either go with someone, or make an appointment with a friend to do an activity at the same time, but separately – eg you’re each going for a walk at 8am in your respective suburbs, and text each other when you’re out the door

● Find an active activity you enjoy enough to forget about the exercise component because you do it for its own sake – eg boxing, archery, rock climbing, golf, dance classes etc – you’ll likely have to try a few things before you find your thing, but the process of trying things will keep you moving too

● Give yourself an easy option – something is better than nothing, so have some options prepared that can give you an easy win, eg 5 sit to stands or one set of bicep curls with something weighty you’ve got lying around

● Keeping a list of easy win options in your phone can help when deciding what to do is one more barrier to doing something
