This month will be posting info graphics and information regarding the latest Chief Medical Officers report on physical activity which was updated in July 2026.

In this mini-news series each Monday we are covering:
👩‍🦰 Physical Activity guidelines for adult and older adults
👧 Physical Activity for children and young people (0-5 and 5-18 years)
🤰 Physical Activity for pregnant women
♿ Physical Activity for disabled adults
♿ Physical Activity for disabled adults and disabled children and disabled young people
🧓 Physical Activity for older adults

---------------------------------
Physical Activity Guidelines for adults and older adults
More Movement = More Health Benefits

The Chief Medical Officers physical activity guidance is clear: for good physical and mental health, adults should aim to be active every day.

But the important message is this:
💬Any activity is better than none - and more is better still (until the benefits tail off at 150 minutes per week)

You do not have to go from zero to 150 minutes overnight. The biggest difference can start with moving a little more than you do now. The graph (Image Two) shows that even a small increase in movement can bring real health benefits, with the biggest gains coming as people move from doing very little towards 150 minutes per week. That could mean:
🚶Taking a short walk
🚲 Cycling a local journey
🪜Using the stairs
🪑breaking up long periods of sitting
💪 adding simple strength activities twice per week

Adults should aim to build towards 150 minutes of moderate activity each week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, alongside activities that help maintain strength.

Start small. Build it in. Keep moving.

Physical activity benefits everyone, at every stage of life.

For children, physical activity supports healthy growth, learning and development. For older adults, it helps maintain mobility, independence and quality of life. For everyone, it helps prevent noncommunicable diseases ( ) and supports mental health.

We all know that feeling of fulfilment and joy after being active. No matter your age, background or fitness level, moving more can make us happier.

The challenge for policymakers is clear: create environments where everyone can move more easily, safely and affordably throughout their lives.

Because physical activity is one of the most powerful tools we have for improving population health.

Movement Matters Now - don't put it off

It is easy to think 'I'll start exercising later', but our bodies respond to movement today. Long periods of inactivity can contribute to muscle loss (sarcopenia), reduced strength and fitness, low energy and a greater risk of health problems overtime.

Moving regularly can help:
1️⃣ Build and maintain strength - helping you carry shopping, climb stairs, get up from a chair and stay independent
2️⃣ Protect heart health - supporting circulation, blood pressure and overall cardiovascular fitness
3️⃣ Support mental wellbeing - many people notice better mood, reduced stress, improved sleep and more confidence when they move regularly
4️⃣ Invest in later life - strength, balance, mobility and endurance built now make it easier to stay active, reduce falls risk and maintain independence as you get older.

🌲 Good News
You don't need a perfect plan or a gym membership. A brisk walk, cycling, dancing, gardening, swimming, climbing the stairs or a few minutes of strength exercise at home count.

Start with what you can do today. Even 10-20 minutes is a meaningful step. The goal is not perfection - it's moving more, sitting less and building habits that help you now and the years ahead.

It simply helps you move better, recover better and stay stronger for longer.
