Health, Disease & Physical Activity

The convenience of modern life is making us increasingly inactive and this is proving hazardous to our health.  "Turn the TV over, press a button - Open the garage door, press a button - buying a paper, jump in the car"

Inactivity is a serious health problem especially as we know that 70% of women and 60% of men in the UK are not active enough to achieve optimal health benefits.

Physical activity is natural, healthy and improves both your physical and mental health.  It is one of the most important factors in maintaining a good quality of life.  The heart is a muscle, and the most important muscle we have, it needs exercise to keep fit and pump oxygen and nutrients around the body with demand.
