❄️5 REASONS TO STAY ACTIVE THIS WINTER❄️
•
Exercise usually takes the back seat in winter with comfort food and snuggling indoors taking priority. However, for the benefit of your own health and wellbeing, here are 5 reason why you should stay active this winter!
•
1. Preventing chronic disease starts NOW ⏱ - The evidence is clear that those who live an active lifestyle have a reduced risk of developing chronic disease such as Type 2 Diabetes, Heart disease and Osteoporosis
2. Movement is MEDICINE 💊 - The ancient theory of ‘REST’ is an outdated approach to the treatment of chronic conditions. Improving insulin resistance in T2D, reducing stiffness and pain in those with osteoarthritis and back pain are few of many ways exercise can help improve your existing health condition.
3. Consistency is KEY 🔑 - Like with many things in life, in order to fully reap the benefits of exercise, it is essential to be consistent. Hibernating for 3 months will hinder your progress!
4. Stay STRONG 💪🏼- Whether it be summer sport, hikes or playing with your grandkids, resistance training can keep you enjoying the activities you love to do all year round!
5. Feel GOOD 😄 - Exercise triggers the release of endorphins that will make you feel good and help you beat the winter blues.
