Being physically active

Working out your body mass index (BMI) is one way to find out if you are a healthy weight. For your tamariki, it is a way to find out if they are a healthy weight for their height and age.
BMI is unable to measure how healthy you or your tamariki are.

Getting around can become an issue as you get older and your health changes. There are extra requirements for older drivers who want to continue to drive. There are also options if you can no longer drive yourself.

After you have been unwell or spent time in hospital, it can be helpful to set goals for your rehabilitation at home.

Keeping active is one of the best things you can do for your health. It can become an enjoyable part of your everyday life and may be easier than you think.

How active we are plays an important part in our overall health and wellbeing. Find out how being physically active benefits our health.

Staying active is important when you are getting older especially if you have health conditions. Just 30 minutes of regular physical activity a day can improve your health, wellbeing, and make it easier to do daily tasks.
