Try a different exercise so you don't get bored
There are 10,080 minutes in a week and for only 150 you're advised to be active. Doesn't sound like much does it?
Yet, for such a small fraction of the week 27 per cent of adults are failing to meet them.
As a result, Change4Life is calling upon individuals to simply up the pace or increase the time of activity in their daily lives - so all England's adults can achieve the recommended guidelines.
The new 'Get Going' campaign calls for adults to be more active everyday as this will not only make them feel great, but also protect them from many of the biggest causes of early death such as heart disease and stroke.
"Doing a little bit of physical activity each day offers huge benefits. That is why my UK colleagues and I recently updated the guidelines so they were more flexible for everyone," says chief medical officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies.
"Adults can now get their 150 active minutes a week insessions of ten minutes or more. This can be from enjoyable everyday activites such as walking at a good pace or even digging in the garden."
Health Minister Lord Howe says: "Staying active not only improves your health but makes you feel better too. I hope this new campaign encourages everyone to find new flexible ways of increasing their own activity levels."
Take the quiz below, which offers tailored advice and tips on how you can incorporate 150 active minutes into your lifestyle.
