Adults of all ages should be physically active at a moderate intensity for at least 30 minutes a day, five times a week, aiming for 150 minutes a week.

Healthy Galway is challenging you to increase your daily step count and walking minutes as part of the Keep Well Campaign. During this time, it is important for us to keep physically active and to take time out of our day to enjoy a walk. Healthy Galway can support you with a pedometer to help you count your steps and this leaflet to help keep track of your progress.

It is important for us to also acknowledge our Energy and Mood levels. Rate both from 1-10 (with 1 Low/ Poor and 10 High/ Great) each day when recording your steps.
