does not have to be about sweaty locker rooms or overpriced gymnasiums. It can be simple, fun and easy to add to our daily schedules.

One of the major benefits of exercise is that it works our hearts and lungs. It also strengthens our muscles and bones. Participation in regular physical activity is important to our health. Some of the many benefits of regular exercise are: improved overall health, decreases in blood pressure, increases in "good" cholesterol, weight control, helps in diabetes control, and helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Aerobic activities are those activities that require our bodies to use oxygen. They work our heart and lungs and are the most beneficial to our overall health. They include walking, running, cycling, swimming and many more.
