Move more – Enfield Health and Wellbeing

Physical activity is crucial for good health. Adults should aim to get at least 150 minutes a week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more. A little exercise is better than no exercise and the more active you are, the more benefits you’ll gain.

Aim for 150 minutes a week, anytime, anywhere
