Getting Active

Being active is good for you in so many ways. It can provide a range of fun experiences, make you feel good, improve your health, and is a great way to relax and enjoy the company of your friends.

Regular physical activity can:

help prevent heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure;
reduce the risk of developing type II diabetes and some cancers;
help build and maintain healthy bones, muscles and joints reducing the risk of injury; and
promote psychological well-being.

	Be active every day! Our Gold Coast survey revealled that only half the GC adult population are active enough to receive a health benefit.		We may not be able to do all the things we did when we were young, but ageing does not mean losing fitness, muscle strength and energy. The reality is you have to ‘use it or lose it’.

	Activities designed to increase physical endurance, strength, and flexiblity help with the things we do everyday. Enjoy the benefits of getting active today!		Get active in your work, school, community, or home setting.
