Physical Inactivity is described as the biggest health threat of the 21st century.
It’s never too late to start gaining the benefits of being active. It not only reduces your risk of getting a disease but it has positive health effects for people with long term conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and even cancer.
The great news is that you don’t need to do intensive workouts to gain substantial health benefits. Take a regular ‘dose’ of exercise and at the same time, reflect on your busy day or use it as an opportunity to spend more quality time with your family and friends.
