The lengthy lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to bad habits, with health consequences.
Official government statistics show inactivity accounts for about 6 percent of all cancers, second only to tobacco smoking.
Today many GPs are recommending their patients to attend the Parkrun - it's a free weekly community running event held around the world.
There are five-kilometer runs on Saturdays, and two-kilometer runs on Sundays.
But many simply go for social engagement, or to donate their time.
Free community exercise initiatives like Parkrun are especially important for those who may not be able to afford more expensive wellness activities.
