Earlier this week we motivated you to get moving and noted that any movement is better than no movement at all – this is so true! Any physical activity is beneficial and by just incorporating small changes into your day to day routine you have a greater chance of benefiting from them.

Moderate amounts of physical activity can greatly improve healthy and quality of life. Just move more to experience any or all of the following:

• Increased stamina
• Increased energy
• Increased cardiovascular health
• Increased bone and joint health
• Increased strength
• Improved posture
• Increased ability to perform activities of daily living
• Increased digestion
• Improved hormonal function
• Increased flexibility
• Prevention of injuries
• Aid in the prevention of falls
• Increase in lean body mass
• Decrease in fat mass
• Greater psychological well-being
