Find out how to stay active

Did you know?


  • Children aged 5 to 18 should aim to be active for one hour each day

  • Physical activity has a huge potential to enhance wellbeing, even short burst of 10 minutes brisk walking increases mental alertness, energy, and positive mood

  • Women are not as active as men, this is called a gender inactivity gap. Stockport has the highest gender inactivity gap in Greater Manchester at 6.6%.

  • In Stockport 200 deaths per year could be saved if every adult did 5 × 30 minutes of activity per week
