ADULTS FITNESS:
INTRODUCTION

Most of us don’t move enough to gain any health benefits, but by making slight changes in our everyday routines, we can improve our strength and our health.  Whether it's included in a structured exercise program or part of your daily routine, all physical activity adds up to a healthier body.  To keep it simple, remember, when it comes to fitness aim for 30 x 3

Thirty minutes of moderate activity three times per week!

The key to moving more is to find ways to add physical activities we enjoy into our every day lives.  What would it take for you to become more active? Would it be taking a ballroom dancing class, discovering your local skate park, or joining a group of mall walkers? Harford County has a number of ways for you to get active, and get fit.


Little changes such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking to places we might ordinarily drive to, or mowing the lawn with a push mower all make a big difference in our health. There are such a variety of ways to add mobility back into our lives that cost little or no money. It’s all about changing our mindset and getting in the habit of moving our bodies.

Regular exercise not only helps keep chronic diseases at bay but it also strengthens bones and joints, burns excess calories, and relieves stress.
