So, I was interviewed on BBC News 24 on Monday evening (sorry for the poor visual quality), to talk about why it is that we are so inactive in the North West (worst in the country, apparently at 47% being inactive).
We have also pretty much the worst health outcomes, with high rates of obesity, heart disease and Type II Diabetes. Maybe we can muster our Northern Spirit and do something about this together? We may have the odds stacked against us with the weather (!), our work-life balance, long working hours and various other factors, but being active is so good for us and helps our health in so many ways – let’s cut the excuses eh? Maybe it’s time for a cultural shift?! Time for healthier workplaces.
