The Importance of Regular Exercise

Physical activity is essential for maintaining physical health and mental wellness. Regular exercise strengthens the heart, improves circulation, and helps maintain a healthy weight.

Recommended Activity Levels

For most healthy adults, the National Health Guidelines recommend:

• At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week.
• Strength training for all major muscle groups at least two times a week.

Psychological Benefits

Exercise triggers the release of endorphins—often called 'feel-good' hormones. It is one of the most effective ways to manage mild to moderate depression and anxiety.
