00:00Since Eamon had his double hip operation,
00:02I've been trying to encourage him to walk a bit more.
00:04So now we're doing 10-minute walks together.
00:07Oh, don't worry about the lead.
00:08That's not for him.
00:09That's for Maggie.
00:10She comes too.
00:11Come on, you.
00:11Hurry up.
00:12Come on, Meg.
00:13I'm looking forward to this.
00:14We've got a lot to talk about, we have.
00:16Do you know six million adults our age hardly ever manage
00:21a brisk 10-minute walk a month?
00:23By brisk?
00:24Do you mean that kind of brisk like when we're
00:26rushing through the airport to try and catch a flight
00:28because you've made me late again.
00:30That brisk.
00:31Yeah, I do.
00:32Hurry up, then.
00:33OK.
00:38Physical inactivity amongst adults contributes
00:41to one in six deaths in the UK.
00:43I know this is feeling a bit brisk, Ruth, but that's all good.
00:46That's good, because by doing this,
00:48we are lowering our risk of dementia, of cancer,
00:51and of heart disease.
00:52It's been scientifically proven.
00:54It's amazing how you know all this stuff.
00:57Physical inactivity is costing the NHS over £900 million a year.
01:04Whoa, hold on, hold on, hold on.
01:06I've got a wee confession to make.
01:08Some of that information I was giving you today is from this app.
01:12I knew it.
01:14Yeah, it's there.
01:15You see, this tells me how often I'm walking
01:18and how often at a heart-pumping brisk pace.
01:21And if those benefits are coming my way, do you know what?
01:24I could be around for a lot longer yet.
01:26Mmm, lucky old me.
01:28Now, here's a fact you didn't know.
01:30What?
01:31I've already got the Active 10 app.
01:33Get out of it.
01:35How come you've done so many Active 10s this week?
01:37That couldn't be right.
01:38Well, it's not that difficult, is it, to do ten minutes?
01:41Most people could do ten minutes a day.
01:42Come on.
01:43When do you do yours?
01:44Well, do you know when I like to do it when I can?
01:47Lunchtime perks me up for the afternoon.
01:49Anyway, it's not a competition.
01:51It is a competition.
01:52Well, if it's a competition, it's obvious who's going to be the winner.
01:55See ya.
01:57So all you need is the Active 10 app.
02:00It's really simple.
02:01This will encourage you to try and get ten minutes of brisk walking into your life.
02:05By the way, you don't have to have a know-it-all with you, that's just an optional extra.
02:11Come on, you two.
