What are the benefits of Physical Activity?

Being more physically active will help you to:

• control weight
• improve circulation
• control blood pressure
• keep mobile and independent and help to keep joint problems at bay
• maintain bone density (especially important for older women)
• sleep better
• feel more energetic and sociable
• reduce stress
• raise self-esteem and confidence
• socialise and make new friends

It is not necessary to go to an aerobics class or go jogging, unless of course, you enjoy these activities.  Just 30 minutes a day, doing something you enjoy, and which is physical enough to make you warm and breath more heavily, will help to improve your health - but you can do more!.
