Apprentices stand and deliver!

A whopping 20 million adults in the UK are physically inactive. In total, we sit for around 74-78 days a year!

The impact of physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles costs the UK healthcare system almost £1.2 billion a year, but 60% of adults aren’t even aware what the Government’s physical activity​ guidelines are.

Spread the word and get your apprentices standing to deliver and not sitting down on the job. For ages 19-64 ​we should be on the move for 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity​ for at least 10 minutes each time or alternatively we should be vigorously active for 75 minutes per week. You should also exercise your major muscle groups​ twice or more a week with muscle-strengthening exercises.

Why not ask your apprentices to think up new ways of working to increase their movement in the workplace and manoeuvre​ their way around the office!
