It takes more than physical exercise to be healthy. Eating healthy and eliminating tobacco use as well as exposure to second hand smoke also plays an important role in a healthy lifestyle. In motion was a successful program started by local individuals who were concerned about the health of residents in our community. Proudly building on the In motion program, Healthy Abbotsford will further enhance the health and vitality of the community.
Family fitness. Many people lack time for exercise and quality time with the family. Why not combine the two? Take your family out and do something physical and fun. |
Just 2010 Seconds to Better Health
2010 seconds is 33.5 minutes – about the amount of moderate intensity exercise needed for increased health. Although five days a week of 2010 seconds is ideal, it takes time to work towards a healthier lifestyle.
If you haven’t been exercising regularly, start in smaller increments. 15 or 20 minutes a day, two or three days a week is a good start, then slowly build up to longer sessions and more days. Before you know it, you’ll feel like a 2010 champion!
