Exercise is good for you. Keeping physically active not only helps our body, but it can also have a big impact on our mood too. As well as PE in school there are many other things you can do to help keep you active. For some of us, PE in school isn’t the best. You may not be interested in the sports on offer or feel you’re not competitive enough. If this is you try not to be put off. There are many things you can do by yourself that will help you stay active, but there are also activities you can get involved with locally that may be of interest. Things you can try that don’t cost a lot of money and can be done alone or with friends and family.

• Walking
• Dancing
• Jogging
• Swimming
• Skipping
• Yoga
• Surfing

If you’d like to get involved in group or team activities, you could look out for local community groups or events for things such as:

• Cricket
• Football
• Rugby
• Park runs
• Surf life saving
• Tennis
• Squash

Community notice boards or local community websites may have information about the types of activities that are organised in your local area by the local community or local charities.
