Relax while being active

Being active doesn’t have to mean going all out. It can be a great way to relax, rejuvenate, and clear your head. Many activities can be done at home, leaving you feeling great afterwards. Being able to adjust the intensity means you can build up your strength at your own pace.

Relax Active

Here’s a few ways of being active that can also be relaxing: 

  • Yoga and Pilates, at various levels of intensity.

  • Going cycling in the fresh air.

  • A trip to your local park or green space.

  • Exploring the outdoors with your dog. 

Any of these activities, or one of the many others can help you relax while you get moving. Tools like the Active 10 app can help you analyse the way you integrate these activities into your routine.
