The Benefits of Exercise at Any Age!

Do you want to improve your mood and happiness?

Do you want to be strong enough to keep doing the activities you love?

Are you afraid that exercise will do more harm than good?

Exercise is one of the best things you can do to improve your health at any age! Every little bit helps. You don’t have to run a marathon to sustain great health, but you should probably walk for at least 15-30 minutes, 3 times a week.

According to the National Institute of Health, “Staying physically active and exercising regularly can produce long-term health benefits and even improve health for some older people who already have diseases and disabilities. That's why health experts say that older adults should aim to be as active as possible.”

Exercise can improve the following:
•    Sleep
•    Strength
•    Balance
•    Anxiety
•    Cognitive function
•    Prevent or treat disease
