Commit to moving more now and your future self will thank you!
Are you an exercise avoider par excellence? A self-confessed sloth per chance? If you desire long-term good health and happiness, you might want to reconsider your position!
It’s not really ‘how’ you move that matters, but ‘that’ you move. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, simply adding as little as 15 minutes of brisk walking on five or more days a week will substantially reduce your risk of chronic conditions including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, bowel, uterine and breast cancer, and dementia.
Regardless of your age, weight or current state of health, exercise helps you feel better, look better and ‘be’ better!
