When driving, do you obey this Qld road rule? If not, start from today … give way when turning.

[Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug]

Thanks goes to @QueenslandWalks & @fel_caldwell of @brisbanetimes for reporting on this.
Far too often people fail to comply with the law and give way when turning into a side street.
We need better education but more importantly better infrastructure!

23% of the yearly 1.19 million deaths are pedestrians.

🚦 Despite notable progress road safety remains an urgent global issue ⛔️

No time for #yoga? Worried a movement break will dent your productivity? Think again. Interrupting sedentary time with 3-min bouts of light intensity yoga throughout the day improves blood glucose control, without any negative impact on concentration 🔗https://t.co/Yy1839RZcW👇🏽

Long wait times at traffic lights discourage people from walking! Wait times are even worse in regional Australia (in my opinion), add in some heat, waiting in the full sun for the lights to go green…feels like eternity! 🥵 https://t.co/xYalQdoDTE

[Australian Health Promotion Association (AHPA) @AHPA_AU]

💡Investing in health promotion is a smart strategy.

Australia spends less than 2% of all health spending on prevention. We call on all Australian governments to commit at least 5% of the health budget to health promotion & illness prevention.

Great messages from Liz @heartfoundation! Work out what you are doing now and start moving move throughout your day! 🙌🏽 #EveryStepCouhts #EveryMoveCounts

[9News Sydney @9NewsSyd]

New research has suggested that walking as little as 4,000 steps a day starts to reduce the risk of death.

[10,000 Steps @10000Steps_]

@a_bricca Absolutely agree with all your points, but we do suggest mobile phone steps tracking isn’t the best device to use - many people do not carry their phone on them with every step, suggesting a lot of incidental physical activity is likely missed.
