During COVID-19 lockdowns overseas, we've seen someone run a half marathon on a tiny balcony and the distance of Everest up and down a staircase. What will we see next in New Zealand!?

Here are some tips we've put together below:
1. Keep your weight down
Obesity is linked with osteoarthritis (loss of cartilage in the joints), which commonly affects knees and hips. Carrying too much weight can also lead to varicose veins. Varicose veins are not life-threatening but they look unsightly and can be painful.
2. Walk
Exercise is very important for the health of your legs. Walking is an excellent way to tone the muscles in the leg, reduce body fat and improve circulation. Aim to walk 30-45 minutes daily, this can be done in bursts through the day.
3. Put your feet up
Standing or even sitting all day can lead to swollen legs and ankles.
Being inactive causes circulation problems. Normally when you walk, the blood is pumped back towards your heart and swelling is reduced. Putting your feet up for just ten minutes a day can help.
4. Check for changes in moles
The leg is a common area of the body in which malignant melanomas can develop. Be vigilant and check regularly for any changes in colour, size or shape of moles.
A yearly mole check with your GP is recommended.
5. Eat a healthy low-fat diet
Sometimes described as your 'second heart', your leg veins help pump blood back up to the heart. Nutritionally, the same rules apply for healthy leg vein circulation as for a healthy heart. Cut back on saturated fat and sugar, make sure you have enough fibre in your diet to maintain normal bowel motions.
