Start here
Where are you starting from?
It doesn't matter whether you've been active all your life or never at all — there is a starting point for you here. Answer three quick questions and we'll show you stories that fit and a first week pitched at your level.
Your first week
Stories picked for you
Rather start with an idea? Things to do is our growing list of things worth doing, each with how to start. Pick a few and make a list of your own.
Three rules we live by
- Start smaller than feels worthwhile. Ten minutes of walking beats a plan you never begin. Every person we write about started with something embarrassingly small.
- Do it with people. Nearly every story here involves a club, a class, a coach or a friend. Company is the strongest predictor we've seen of people still doing the thing a year later.
- Check with your GP, then get on with it. Ask what you can do, not only what you can't. The answer is usually "more than you think".
