Frequently Asked Questions

I haven't exercised to a while and I'm a bit unsure of where to start?


If you have experienced recent health problems then go and see your doctor (GP) or practice nurse before attempting any exercise. If you get the all clear to start, see some of the ideas on our 'Difficulty' page.



I don't have anyone to exercise with!


You can do some simple things at home to begin with and there are lots of local walking, cycling and general exercise groups on this site.
