Fit for Summer |

Summer is a terrific time to become more physically active. There are so many activities that you can participate in to help you get in shape.

People who exercise regularly live longer and healthier lives.

How much physical activity should you get? Read the guidelines by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) For Children – 5 — 11 Years, For Youth – 12 — 17 years, For Adults – 18 — 64 Years, For Older Adults – 65 Years & Older.

You don't have to take up a sport to be physically active. Even everyday activities such as gardening, bike riding, a brisk walk after dinner, and mowing the lawn can bring some health benefits.
