I love the outdoors, what exercise can I do in the fresh air?

• Cycling is one of the best ways to keep fit and socially distance yourself from others. Our Cycle lanes and routes page shows you where the nearest shared use paths are in our area.
• Running. Simple and easy. Lace up your trainers and off you go. Before you head off, it might be a good idea to plan your run using a free app like Strava, MapMyRun or RunCoach to ensure rack up the miles close to home. If you are new to running, try the NHS Couch to 5k programme.
• Walking is also a great way to get an all-round workout. Just 30 minutes of putting one foot in front of the other can help increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat and boost muscle power and endurance – and you don't need any special equipment to enjoy it!
• You can walk and see more of Falkirk at the same time. The Paths and Walks page has a number of path network leaflets developed by the Outdoor Access Team. Visit Falkirk also have a section on walking on their website.

What other activities can I do to stay active?

You don't have to jump around to build up a sweat. There are other ways you can keep active without even knowing it.

• Carry out that spring clean you'd been putting off as the moving and the vacuuming will help raise the heart rate. Plus, having a clear out will declutter your home and improve wellbeing.
• Got a garden? If the weather is dry you can get outside and tidy up, cut the grass and hedges and paint fences (all the things you've been putting off!). You can even have a chat with your neighbours but remember to stay 2 metres apart.
• If you've got kids in the house, why not play games with them? Skipping, a game of tig or even hopscotch. Or you could create an obstacle course and time each other to see who completes it the fastest.

Remember to start your exercise plan slowly and gradually build up. You know your own limits and it is important that you stick to them.
