Simple Ways to Stay Active, Healthy and Connected
Winter can make it tempting to stay indoors, move less and postpone social plans. Small, consistent actions can help you stay active, engaged and connected throughout winter.
1. Keep Moving in a Way That Feels Right for You
Regular movement can support strength, mobility and balance. Choose activities that suit your ability, confidence and preferences
Take a short walk during the warmer part of the day
Do gentle stretches at home
Join a low-impact exercise class
Practise balance and mobility exercises
Move regularly instead of sitting for long periods
2. Maintain a Regular Routine
A simple weekly schedule can help you stay motivated and give structure to you during colder, darker months.
A morning walk
A coffee with a friend
A community group or social activity
Time for hobbies or learn something new
3. Stay Connected with Your Community
Social connection is an important part of overall wellbeing. Community groups offer a relaxed way to meet people and enjoy shared interests.
Social Mahjong
Knitting.
Men's Chat
Scrabble
Social Bridge
Morning teas, community lunches and special activities
You do not need to know anyone before attending. Many people join to build routine, try something new or feel more connected locally.
4. Support Your Wellbeing with Small Daily Habits
Winter wellbeing is not only about exercise. Small daily habits can also support how you feel.
Get some daylight when possible
Eat regular, balanced meals
Drink enough water
Keep your home warm and comfortable
Stay in contact with friends, family or neighbours
Ask for support when you need it
Always follow advice from trusted health professionals regarding your individual health needs
5. Try Something New This Winter
Winter can be a great time to explore a new activity, learn a skill or reconnect with something you enjoy.
Try a different type of movement class
Join a social or interest group
Improve your digital skills

Invite a friend to join you
