  • Improves fitness and heart health 
  • Decreased incidence of stress and depression
  • Increased self-esteem
  • Positive body image
  • Opportunities to have fun and interact with friends and family.

You don't have to go to the gym - there are thousands of ways to get moving:
  • Go for a walk/run
  • Walk the dog
  • Go for a swim at the beach
  • Ride your bike
  • Try Pilates or Yoga if working up a sweat isn't your thing 
  • Get some friends together and hire a tennis court and have a hit
  • There are thousands of workouts on Youtube
  • Go skiing (ok, that depends where you live)
  • Go ice skating
  • Go rollerblading
  • Enrol in a dance class
  • Your local community centre has lots of well priced exercise options.
As the prophet Nike said, just do it!
