Three kinds of exercise contribute to a well-rounded exercise program that fully benefits your body. These are aerobic activity, strength training and flexibility exercises. You don’t have to run a marathon every week to keep fit; most fitness experts agree that moderate, regular exercise is enough to keep your body in shape and your mind invigorated. Recent studies have indicated that the good effects of smaller amounts of activity/exercise undertaken throughout the day are cumulative.

Physical activity not only improves muscle tone and flexibility it also:

• increases blood circulation, improving the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells
• enhances the drainage of lymphatic tissue waste, thereby helping to remove toxins from the system, and helps the digestive system to process food better, reducing bloating and constipation.
  
• Please consult your doctor or other healthcare practitioner if you plan to significantly change your exercise routine.
