These days, ‘modern life’ can mean that we’re a lot less active. With so many opportunities to watch TV or play computer games, and with so much convenience and fast food available, we don’t move about as much, or eat as well as we used to. You’ve taken the first step towards getting yourself or your kids eating well, moving more and living longer just by being here, so welcome to Change4Life!
