Reasons to get active
There are so many benefits to moving more, especially as we get older. Exercise and movement improves your quality of life, and even in small amounts can:
- reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease and cancer
- make long term conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure and depression easier to manage
- improve your sleep, your mood and mental health
- improve your balance, strength and fitness
- help you to feel good, have fun and meet other people
