Moving More is good for your health and wellbeing. Even if you move for one minute more than you did yesterday, it’s good for you – you just need to take that first step!
Living an active life is important to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. Staying active is proven to help prevent and treat diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some forms of cancer.
There are also many social benefits from being active too – from meeting new friends, getting out and about, to improvements in self esteem and confidence.
