More and more studies are revealing the benefits of regular physical activity on your health. Check out these just to name a few:

• Reduction of risk for diseases such as coronary heart disease, colon cancer and Type 2 Diabetes.
• Helps maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints.
• Reduces the symptoms of both anxiety and depression and improves mood.

The list of benefits is growing. Are you ready to reap the rewards from a lifestyle with regular physical activity? Here are a few tips to help you succeed on your journey.*

• Start Small. Physical activity need not be strenuous to achieve health benefits. Begin by adding in some physical activity daily for any length of time. Feel like skipping a day? Start doing the activity and then decide - chances are you’ll start feeling better!
• Have Fun. Make it social - walk with a friend to the coffee shop. Or, try something new such as joining a dance class - you could learn a new skill and make new friends!
• Be Positive. Track your progress and know that it gets easier with practice. Set specific goals that are measurable, objective and time limited. Reward yourself with a gift such as a new CD when you accomplish your goals - you deserve it!

^{*Always consult your physician prior to beginning an exercise program.}
