If you're a student
As well as studying vocational and academic courses, students learn about and experiment with new lifestyles. Get into good habits by trying out the following:
Go for walks with friends to talk about your studies. Brainstorming about an essay as you walk around the campus can be a productive use of your time.
Spend some time in the learning resource centre reading about sport, exercise and health. The more you know, the more choices you have about how to be physically active.
Most colleges run sport and exercise programmes that students can take part in. Find out which activities are on offer, and try those you think you might enjoy. Be adventurous and pick something you've not tried before.
If you're based at home
If you find you spend most of your day in the house, try these tips to stay active and healthy:
Plan your week so you have to walk to the shops frequently. By going often you'll only have to carry light bags of shopping back.
Look at ways in which you can be more active in and around your home. Use the stairs to exercise, work on the garden or install some gym equipment, for example. Even hiding the remote control for the TV can help.
Look for community-based activity programmes in your local area. These don't have to be fitness classes, just anything that gets you moving. Conservation groups can be a great way to get involved in improving your local environment and being active at the same time.
