What influences your choice of activity

In order to continue enjoying our site, we ask that you confirm your identity as a human. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Deciding your health goals will steer you towards the right type of physical activity for you.
Enjoyment is the key to maintaining an exercise program.
See your doctor for a medical check-up before embarking on any new physical activity program.

Congratulations! You’ve decided to build physical activity into your daily life. The next step is to choose the right kind of activity for you. The most important thing to remember is to choose an activity that you find fun. Look for a type of physical activity that you’re likely to enjoy. Do you prefer to spend time indoors or outdoors? Alone or with people? You are more likely to abandon a healthy lifestyle change if your chosen activity doesn’t suit your preferences or lifestyle. See your doctor for advice, support and a medical check-up before you start any new physical activity program. This is particularly important if you are over 40 years, overweight, haven’t exercised in a long time or suffer from a chronic medical condition.

Pre-exercise screening is used to identify people with medical conditions that may put them at a higher risk of experiencing a health problem during physical activity. It is a filter or ‘safety net’ to help decide if the potential benefits of exercise outweigh the risks for you. Ensure you read through the adult pre-exercise self-screening tool before you embark on a physical activity or exercise program.

Do you like things organised or prefer a more casual approach? Do you like to do things on your own or to be part of a group-based activity?

While any type of physical activity is good for you, different physical activities offer different results. Deciding your health goals will steer you towards the right intensity of activity for you.
