• Build physical activities that you enjoy into your day (e.g., take a walk with a friend, ride your bike to school or work) and reduce your sedentary behaviour (e.g., prolonged sitting).

• If you want to do vigorous-intensity physical activity (i.e., physical activity at an intensity that makes it hard to carry on a conversation), and you do not meet minimum physical activity recommendations noted above, consult a Healthcare Professional beforehand. This can help ensure that your physical activity is safe and suitable for your circumstances.

• Physical activity is also an important part of a healthy pregnancy.

• Delay becoming more active if you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness.

Waterford Sports Partnership is proud to support the ‘Keep Well’ Campaign!

‘Keep Well’ is a Government of Ireland initiative, aimed at showing people of all ages how we can mind our own physical and mental health and wellbeing by adding healthy and helpful habits to our daily and weekly routines.

We are working with Sport Ireland, Waterford City & County Council, Healthy Waterford, the HSE, Waterford Libraries, Creative Waterford and Get Ireland Walking to provide guidelines, information and tips on what we can do to help us keep well through the coming months by keeping active,  staying connected, switching off & being creative, eating well and minding our mood.
