Make Time for Movement | A Movement for Movement

Movement is changing

People are less active nowadays, partly because technology has made our lives easier. We drive cars or take public transport. Machines wash our clothes. We entertain ourselves in front of a TV or computer screen. Fewer people are doing manual work, and most of us have jobs that involve little physical effort. Work, household chores, shopping and other necessary activities are far less demanding than for previous generations.

The way we think about movement will change during our life, life events such as having a baby, or changing jobs will change how active we are. Building in small movements to our day can make a big difference to our health. Whether you’re expecting a child or looking towards retirement, every move matters.
