May is National Physical Fitness Month - Time to Enjoy Life

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. Most of us know that there are great benefits to being physically fit. Yet, many of us are not as fit as we would like to be, usually because we have trouble making the time for regular physical activity in our busy lives.

You can find some tips for adding more physical activity to your day at www.foh.hhs.gov/calendar/May.html. Try these tips and you’ll soon find that you’ve made exercise a habit that you won’t want to break!

The best way to become physically fit is to find an activity you enjoy doing and gradually work it into your daily routine. Doing something that brings you pleasure can help you stick to your fitness program and reach your goals.

Be sure to speak with your physician or other healthcare provider before starting an exercise program if you have any medical concerns.
