Physical activity has a number of health benefits. Being active can help both our physical health and our mental well-being. Regular physical activity is associated with a greater sense of well-being and it helps reduces feelings of anxiety and depression. Participating in a sport or hobbies such as gardening or dancing, or just a daily stroll will keep us fit and stimulate our minds. It's essential that all of us, whatever our age or ability, participate in physical activity we enjoy and that suits us.
