  Strength, Endurance, Stamina, Flexibility, and Balance are all components of a healthy body. Engaging in any physical activity will have benefits and it is important to find something that inspires you to maintain an ongoing movement lifestyle.

Walking is the simplest form of movement and it has many benefits. 30 minutes of walking each day will improve cardiovascular and pulmonary fitness, strengthen bones, improve balance, reduce excess body fat, and increase muscle power and overall endurance. 

 Running kick-starts the metabolism to burn calories, strengthen joints, relieve stress, build endurance, tone the body, improve circulation, lower blood pressure, decrease stress hormones, and heightens cognitive activity. 

Yoga is an amazing way to improve strength, balance, and flexibility. It also assists with relieving back pain, can ease arthritis symptoms, calms the mind, promotes heart health, manages stress, elevates mood, and leads to better sleep patterns. 

Martial Arts is a full body workout that leads to heightened reflexes, better coordination, improved flexibility, refined mental focus, superior strength and power, and promotes weight loss, cardiovascular health, and reduces stress.
