BHF Physical Activity Specialist Lisa Young offers tips on how you can be active every day, and demonstrates a 10-minute workout you can do in your living room.

Regular physical activity can help you drop a dress (or trouser) size and will also make you feel fitter, more energised and better able to cope with life’s ups and downs.

You don’t have to drag yourself to the gym for hours on end. Improve your health and wellbeing by building up to 150 minutes of activity a week at an intensity that makes you feel warmer, breathe harder and makes your heart beat faster than usual; every 10 minutes counts. Here are my top tips and a 10-minute workout to get you started.

Free Meditation

Simply taking 5 minutes per day to take a few deep breaths and forget about everything can make a huge difference in your life.
