Benefits of Fitness

The human body was designed for activity, and by exercising regularly you’ll look and feel better—every day.
Remember, fitness is about improving muscular strength and endurance, cardiorespiratory strength and endurance, and flexibility through regular physical activity. That even includes things like walking the dog, folding the laundry, or playing tag with the kids.

Why Is Staying Active So Important?

Because the results are amazing:
A HEALTHY HEART
Regular physical activity can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels and can reduce the risk of illnesses such as type 2 diabetes or heart disease.
STRONG BONES
Exercise is necessary to build strong, healthy bones and can help slow the bone loss associated with getting older.
A SENSE OF WELL-BEING
Being in good shape can give you more energy, reduce anxiety and depression, improve self-esteem, and help you better manage stress.
A GOOD SOCIAL LIFE
Staying active is a great way to have fun, make new friends, and spend quality time with family.
LOOKING AND FEELING BETTER
You look better when you’re in shape. Staying active helps you tone muscles and maintain a healthy weight—and can even improve your posture.
