Why exercise? Exercise is powerful medicine. Exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Exercise prevents health problems, builds strength, boosts energy, and can help you reduce stress. It can also help you maintain a healthy body weight and curb your appetite.

Exercise can:

• Reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure osteoporosis, diabetes and obesity.
• Reduce your risk of breast, colorectal, and uterine cancer
• Keep joints, tendons, and ligaments flexible, which makes it easier to move around and decreases your chance of falling
• Reduce some of the effects of aging, especially the discomfort of osteoarthritis
• Contribute to mental well-being and help treat depression
• Help relieve stress and anxiety
• Increase energy and endurance
• Improve sleep
• Help maintain a normal weight by increasing your metabolism (the rate you burn calories)
