Change4Life Smart Restart app for iPhone and iPad

Going back to school after the holidays is a great time to make a fresh start and get the kids into a healthier routine for the new term. Change4Life’s Smart Restart app helps you introduce a healthy change and stick with it for six weeks - with support, encouragement and good ideas to keep you on track.

Get started today by downloading the app and picking one of five healthy changes:

1. Stretch your legs – swap some of your regular car or bus journeys for walking, cycling or scooting
2. Super lunches – help keep your kids going right through the school day with our ideas for quick and tasty lunches
3. Screen time switch – tempt them away from their screens for 30 minutes a day, with loads of fun game ideas
4. 10 minute moves – kids need to be active for at least 60 minutes a day. Break it down into 10-minute chunks and that goal is easier to reach
