Abstract
The Chief Medical Officer recommends that we should do at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week to keep us healthy and promote our wellbeing. Whilst the percentage of people achieving this target has increased in recent years many people do not reach this level on a regular basis and levels of inactivity remain stubbornly high. As it is well established that physical activity can contribute positively to an individual’s physical wellbeing, mental wellbeing, personal development and social and community cohesion as well as national economic development, increasing physical active is now a worldwide priority and it is widely acknowledged that more needs to be done to support and motivate those not currently meeting physical activity targets
