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
