Ideas on getting active
Make a pledge to get active and see great benefits to your health and wellbeing during and beyond Heart Month. Use our exercise videos.
Pledge to live a healthier lifestyle this Heart Month.
Walk more, start a new exercise like running, and eat more healthily - it will make a real difference!
Make a pledge with members of your team, and raise funds for HEART UK.
This Heart Month, we invite your company to get involved and encourage your staff to make a pledge. Making some simple changes to your lifestyle will help your to manage your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart and circulatory diseases.
We'd love as many people as possible to join in our 10,000 steps-a-day challenge and raise money for people with high cholesterol.
