Renew your Commitment to a Healthy Lifestyle

By Bon Secours In Motion Sports Performance, Fitness & Wellness

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. It is a time in which we as individuals, social groups or families can recommit ourselves to living a healthier lifestyle and it all begins with activity. Bon Secours In Motion invites you to join our drive to boost awareness about the benefits of exercise both physically and mentally. Challenge yourselves to take action in May 2016!

Benefits of Physical Activity

  1. Children
    1. Strengthens bones.
    2. Improves neuromuscular adaptation and coordination.
    3. In groups, activity increases social skills.
    4. Improves heart health and decreases obesity (a leading factor in diabetes).
  2. Adults
    1. Lowers risks for numerous diseases (heart, diabetes, and certain types of cancer).
    2. Improves cognitive function and social interaction.
    3. Improves bone density and strengthens muscles.
    4. Boosts energy and controls weight.

Group Ideas for Starting Your Activity Commitment

  1. Family walks after dinner.
  2. A “take the stairs” commitment with your social group at work.
