Move more month

Moving regularly and decreasing our time spent sitting reminds our muscles and joints how to move freely.

Using intuitive movement can be beneficial, from a simple daily walk around the block, to a 15-minute exercise routine.

Moving regularly and building exercise into your daily routine can help keep your joints healthy, and allow you to live an active, healthy life for years to come.

The best way to get moving is finding something you enjoy doing. Dance around your kitchen if it’s going to put a smile on your face, increase your heart rate and get your body moving!

Here are seven reasons to move every day for the good of your overall health and wellbeing.

1. Sharper memory and cognitive ability.

2. Weight loss and maintenance - but this shouldn't be your main reason motivation.

3. More energy.

4. Better sleep.

5. Healthy muscles and bones.

6. Pain reduction.

7. Better mood.

If you are unsure on what exercises you can do, talk to your GP to determine if your planned physical activity contradicts any health conditions or increases your risk of injury.

If you have a niggling pain or ache, book in with our chiropractor, Sarah. You can also make the most of our complimentary consultations with our personal trainers, who can give you some expert guidance and help get you moving.
