Move your way to better health naturally
We all know that exercise is great for gaining fitness, improving strength
and losing weight, but did you know that exercise does so much more?
A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology by Booth et al. (2002) highlighted
that physical activity can lower blood pressure, reduce insulin
resistance and favourably influence cardiovascular function.
New evidence indicates that aerobic exercise practiced either in a supervised
group or alone at home, eases depression as effectively as a commonly
prescribed antidepressant medication does.
There are also numerous studies to support that a lack of body movement
and energy expenditure are direct and primary causes of chronic illnesses
such as chronic pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease,
diabetes, obesity, low fertility, low sex drive, fatigue, anxiety, cognitive
decline and premature aging.
We should all be aware that body movement and energy expenditure are genetic
requirements for health and vitality, and the only solution to the epidemic
of chronic illness and suffering caused by movement deficiency is movement
sufficiency.
And if we havent given you enough good reasons to incorporate movement
into your day, weve recently teamed up with A2Z Personal Training
to offer you 2 free personal training sessions with Andrew Zagami
in Canterbury, Camberwell, Balwyn or Doncaster. This is a great opportunity

lifestyle kickstarted. To take up this great offer, give Andrew a call
on 0407 329 620 or visit www.a2zpt.com.au
