"Remember, staying active isn’t just about intense workouts — it’s about moving your body and having fun.” This is the advice from our new #WorldHeartDay ambassador, Bangladesh cricket star 🏏 Shakib Al Hasan, on how to USE ❤️ FOR ACTION! Here are a few ideas to get you started: 💚 Be more active every day – take the stairs, walk or cycle instead of driving. Playing, walking, housework, dancing – #EveryMoveCounts! 💚 Aim for 150-300 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75-150 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity throughout the week. 💚 On two or more days a week, you should also do some muscle-strengthening exercises involving all major muscle groups. 💚 Download an app or use a wearable device to keep track of your steps and progress. #WorldHeartDay #HeartYes #UseHeart #BeActive
