Move Your Body
Hitting the gym is probably the last thing you feel like doing. Here’s how you can create fitness habits that help you stay healthy for life
Movement is not just about looking good. It has many benefits that are crucial for our health – it helps us to feel and perform better, live longer, and with less disability as we age. Movement is vital to our happiness, and can help us to manage anxiety and depression.
Moving our body improves fitness levels. Fitness boosts our mood, energy levels, focus and brainpower. It can spark creativity and propel productivity. People who are fitter are less likely to develop stroke, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancer. Being fit and healthy help us manage our risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and joint issues, and even dementia.
Movement has also been found to help lower our stress levels and blood pressure. Exercise helps us to feel calmer, too.
Being fit also helps us build strong bones, and that can impact on our quality of life, as we age. So, being fit is not about the numbers on the scales; it is simply crucial to living well.
