Click here for menu Get a life, get active!
Welcome to the get a life, get active website. We all need to be active, and most of us in Northern Ireland aren’t nearly active enough.
This website aims to give you the information and the motivation you need to increase your level of physical activity and, by doing so, protect your health both now and in the future.
The site is aimed at all of us who know or suspect that our lifestyles could be healthier than they are now. It won’t tell you how to train for a marathon or how to become an international standard athlete, but what it will tell you is how to incorporate enough activity into your everyday life for better health.
Check out the sections on our menu to find out why we all need to be active, how much activity we need and what sort, how to get started, how to overcome the common barriers to being more active, and what facilities and opportunities are available to you locally.
The menu can be found at the top of this page.
