Walk wherever you can Walking may be underrated, but it’s one of the easiest ways to get active and become healthier. Try to ditch the car and walk to the shops or incorporate it into your journey to work.10,000 steps can burn up to 400 calories.

ActiveWestminster Guide

Keeping active and healthy doesn’t have to mean expensive gym membership and paying for exercise classes. There are lots of ways you can get active for free.
