Push Play
Push Play research
Push Play is based on the fact that even small amounts of activity are good for your health. But don't just take our word for it - here's what the experts say:
A 10 percent increase in the number of physically active adults would save around 300 lives each year - and five times this number could be saved if every adult was sufficiently active.
