Do you live with symptoms of health conditions?
Do you want to increase your activity?
If so, you’re in the right place.
Any increase in the amount you move is good for you and safe.
The benefits massively outweigh any risks.
It’s normal to worry that physical activity might affect your symptoms.
If you have any questions at all about doing physical activity, go to our website, speak to a fitness instructor or your medical team.
Start at a level that is comfortable for you, and build up gradually.
This helps your body adapt. Try and avoid a ‘boom and bust’ cycle.
If your symptoms get increasingly bad over the first few weeks of starting physical activity, speak to your medical team.
