    Regular physical activity improves heart health, mood, sleep and strength. The best routine is one you can sustain.

    Key points to know

    • Start gradually and build up over weeks.
    • Mix aerobic activity with strength training.
    • Warm up and cool down.
    • Check with a clinician if you have a heart or joint condition.

    Topic What it means for you
    Aerobic Brisk walking, cycling, swimming
    Strength At least twice a week
    Progress Build up slowly
    Consistency Better than intensity

    When to seek medical advice

    Stop and seek advice if you develop chest pain, severe breathlessness or dizziness during exercise.
