Even as we make personal choices to become more physically active, we also need a the spaces around us such as workplaces, schools and around our community to be safe and conducive for working out.

Some ways in which you can get together with your neighbours for a more active lived experience are:

• Ensuring safety on pedestrian paths by preventing encroachment
• Planting trees for shade on pathways encourage people to walk as they get from point A to B rather than using a vehicle.Trees increase oxygen levels and provide much-needed shade to protect against the hot sun.
• Observance of a cycle lane
• Parks and playgrounds in residential areas may have their own play zones or walk zones
• Sports equipment may be made available in schools, colleges and other institutions with special designated time for play
