Building Active Travel into your Every Day
Active travel is defined as any form of human-powered travel, with the most popular forms being walking or cycling. Taking public transport is another popular form that is available to us all across Bedfordshire. Many public transport trips include a portion of active travel at the beginning and end of every journey too (i.e., walking to-and-from a local bus stop or train station).
Leaving the car at home can be the perfect way to work some active minutes into your week, like trips to the shops or to-and-from school or work. Remember, every adult in the UK (16 years or over) needs 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity each week, while children (5 to 15) require 60 minutes of physical activity every single day.
