Exercise and activity are good for just about everyone. In fact, research shows with a doubt, no matter what your current physical abilities are, you can gain a lot from staying active and exercising. Lack of activity actually present more problems and health issues than the act of being active. Physical inactivity can lead to more visits to the doctor, more sick days, more hospitalizations as you age, and can increase your likelihood of being put on medications. 

In this episode, our registered dietitians discuss the many benefits of exercise, plus how much you should be doing as outlined by the American College of Sports Medicine. Tune in to find out more!


Example Week of Exercise - screenshot for your own use!

Monday - 45 min HIIT class or bike ride, 10 min of stretching

Tuesday - 45 min to 60 min of strength training (chest, shoulders, back), 10 min of stretching

Wednesday - 45 min HIIT class or treadmill run/jog, 10 min of stretching
