8 steps to help you get active and stay healthy

1. Move your body - you don't have to play a sport to get active. Any type of movement is good for you - try dancing, hop-scotch or gymnastics.

2. Be part of a team - by being part of a team you can make new friends, achieve new goals and have lots of fun. Check out the Wildcats Activ8 Clubs in your local area. By joining a Wildcats Activ8 Club you can learn new skills for sport, get active and fun.

3. Create your own - why not create you own game. Make up your own rules for a game - perhaps using a ball, a bat, a hula hoop or any equipment you have at home.

4. Involve your Family - get your family active. Why not go for a walk after dinner instead of watching TV, go cycling or play a family game in the garden or park.

5. Eat well - top athletes eat healthy to maintain a healthy body. Swap a sugary item (chocolate, sweets or fizzy drinks) for a healthy option such a piece of fruit or a bowl of unsweetened cereal.

6. Go outdoors - walk to the shop, to school or to a friend's house with your parents instead of taking the car - or just go for a walk in the park.

7. Be a leader - don't wait for someone else to organise an activity - take charge by suggesting games and activities to your family or friends.

8. Measure your success - use the Activ8 Diary to record your activities over one week. You'll be amazed at how a little activity each day adds up to make you fit and healthy. After the first week, keep you own diary to record your success.
