Why Is Physical Activity Important?

Exercise and physical activity are good for just about everyone, including older adults.  No matter your health and physical abilities, you can gain a lot by staying active. In fact, studies show that “taking it easy” is risky.  Often, inactivity is more to blame than age

when older people lose the ability to do things on their own.  Lack of physical activity also can lead to more visits to the doctor, more hospitalizations, and more use of medicines for a variety of illnesses.

Emotional Benefits of Exercise

Research has shown that exercise is not only good for your physical health, it also supports emotional and mental health.  You can exercise with a friend or group and get the added benefit of emotional support.  So, next time you’re feeling down, anxious, or stressed, try to get up and start moving!
