Active Schools Dundee and the #DailyMileAtHome

THE DAILY MILE AT HOME

We would like to introduce all families across the UK to The #DailyMileAtHome. Active Schools Dundee have been working closely with the Daily Mile Foundation to produce home activities that are an easy and fun way to keep fit and maintain good health and wellbeing for you and your children.

Why do the #DailyMileAtHome ?

Instructions from the government are very clear – they are allowing us to take exercise outdoors, as long as we can keep a safe distance from others. We all need to try to be physically active and the Active Schools team in Dundee believe that The Daily Mile at Home can help almost everyone to do this. We believe that it will be useful for children, parents and carers in helping them to look after their physical and mental health.

We already have Daily Mile guidance for schools, and now we’ve adapted it so you can use it at home and enjoy the same benefits. These come from 15 minutes or more of walking, running or jogging in the fresh air – doing it at whatever pace suits you best and wearing what you’ll feel most comfortable in. We’d love to see you doing The Daily Mile, so be sure to post on social media using #DailyMileAtHome and tag us with @DundeeActiveSch
