                                 How much do I need to move for my health?

Being physically active is not only about going to the gym or doing any kind of sport that requires a special place, equipment or inventory. Popular types of physical activity include walking, and a person must walk several kilometers – 10 thousand steps. Cycling, ice skating, sports, outdoor activities and games – this will help keep you healthy. It is better to start the morning with charging. When going to work, get off at least one stop earlier, and if you are driving, park it away from work. In this case, you will have the opportunity to walk. Be active and healthy!
