National Physical Fitness and Sports Month
Throughout May
May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month! And what better month to start an activity program? The flowers are in bloom, the weather is getting warmer, the trees and grass are green--everything is new and growing! This is the perfect time to start afresh by adding exercise to your daily routine.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, you should aim to be active at a moderate level of intensity for 30 minutes on most days. If 30 minutes every day seems like a lot, start with what you can do and work up. Be sure to make your exercise focus health, not weight. Benefits of exercise include reduced risk of such chronic diseases as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer in addition to weight control and reduced stress. Check Louann's display board in May to find out how you can become fit and active.
