• the importance of building regular exercise into daily and weekly routines and how to achieve this; for example walking or cycling to school, a daily active mile or other forms of regular, vigorous exercise
• the risks associated with an inactive lifestyle (including obesity)
• how and when to seek support including which adults to speak to in school if they are worried about their health
