(GP106, female)'Almost every condition is made worse by lack of physical activity … but obviously particularly cardiovascular risk and metabolic syndrome and diabetes. But then even things like mental health problems, depression, anxiety, and so on. Any chronic disease really is. You're increasing your risk by a lack of physical activity.' (GP111, male)
Awareness	'I'm always a bit cautious if you have an initiative which, em, tries to get people to do one thing or whatever, you know. I think it’s better if you are able to integrate things into your daily routine … For example, like your [commute] to work. Once you change that, you can either walk or cycle and if that becomes a habit then that’s for life, you know. Likewise, if at work if you establish that, “Right, when I finish seeing my patients and I look at my results, that’s when I stand up,” or, “I do that on a different computer where I have to stand,” I think then there’s a better chance that you maintain it. Rather than if you have an initiative which runs out at some stage.' (GP104, male)'And I know that there’s like parkrun for GP surgeries on Saturdays … but I don't think for me a parkrun on a Saturday is going to outdo the Monday to Friday concerns.' (GP109, female)
