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

1. Reduction of risk for diseases such as coronary heart disease, colon cancer and Type 2 Diabetes.
2. Helps maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints.
3. 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.
