When it comes to improving our health, most of us focus on nutrition and diet. While these factors are undoubtedly essential for good physical and mental health, there is another crucial component that often gets overlooked: EXERCISE. Regular physical activity can help to prevent numerous serious illnesses, from heart disease and diabetes to mental ones, like depression.

     The thing is, lifestyle habits can tend to become set in adulthood. And while many people are somewhat active at work or during daily errands, few engage in significant amounts of physically demanding activities, which have obvious benefits. As such, adults may need more encouragement to get moving and stay active if they hope to reap all the great health-promoting benefits that exercise has to offer.

     Fortunately, there are many enjoyable ways for grownups to stay fit. Including outdoor activities like hiking or biking, as well as indoor options like group fitness classes or workouts adapted specifically for adults. Whatever form of exercise you choose, just remember that the hard-won health benefits of movement will greatly exceed any time spent sweating!
