The best resolution for 2022? To move more!

To achieve this, there are two essential ingredients: desire and pleasure. You have to want it, and make sure it's not a chore.

The best resolution for 2022? To move more!

As Pr François Carré puts it, the first thing to do is get back into motion: walk, take the stairs, stand up on the phone, seize every opportunity to be physically active! After a while, you can consider taking up a sport again, very gradually. Jumping rope, for example, for five minutes at a time, is excellent. There's an important message here: everyone can take part in sport, whether they're sedentary, suffer from heart disease or are elderly. There are adapted physical activities that doctors can prescribe... A lot of people think they're too fragile to do sport, but that's not true. What's the right pace? When you can talk more or less normally, or hum, during exercise, while being very slightly out of breath. And to avoid getting bored, you can change activity when monotony sets in, to get back in the mood. We'll take stock at the end of the year.
