17.01.2022 Often the words "physical activity" and "exercise" are used interchangeably, but they arent the same thing. The World Health Organisation defines physical act...ivity as "any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure". This includes activities undertaken while working, playing, carrying out household chores, travelling, and engaging in recreational pursuits. Exercise is a subcategory of physical activity. Its planned, structured, repetitive, and aims to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness. Both are good for you, and increasing BOTH structured exercise and daily physical activity has a positive impact on your health. #MoveMore #ExerciseRight

12.01.2022 Hi All, As we find ourselves in the middle of Exercise Right Week, I ask you to comment below what youve decided to do today that will have a positive impact towards your health!! On that note.. It was a beautiful morning on top of Castle Hill!

12.01.2022 Cardiorespiratory exercise is good for your body, but can it also slow cognitive changes in your brain? A new study has once again documented a positive relatio...nship between exercise and brain health, particularly with regards to gray matter and total brain volume. The results suggest that cardiorespiratory exercise may contribute to improved brain health and decelerate a decline in gray matter. The volume of gray matter appears to correlate with various skills and cognitive abilities, and the researchers found that increases in peak oxygen uptake was strongly associated with increased gray matter volume. With cognitive decline often associated with ageing, this research once again highlights the exercise benefits for brain health and the importance of staying physically active at all stages of life. #ExerciseRight
