10 minutes a day for life


Just slowly increasing activity by just 10 minutes a day adds up weekly.  It is enough to provide health benefits, and will enhance protection against illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.

Preventing or delaying chronic disease means less doctors' bills and improves your quality of life in the here and now.  Most people know that exercise is important to maintain and improve health; however, sedentary lifestyles have become a major issue. 

Try recording your daily activity and including 10 minutes of dedicated walking each day, and get a family member, friend or colleague to join you.
