Being physically active will lessen the strain on our health care system, as physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, some types of cancer, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, depression, stress and anxiety. Additionally, being physically active as you age will give you a greater sense of well-being, belonging, confidence, self-assurance and the capability of a greater degree of independence.
