What if someone told you that by moving more in your day, you could promote and maintain your health? Seems basic enough, but consider this; people who engage in minimal physical activity are consistently linked with increased risk of premature chronic health conditions and mortality. This is one of the reasons why the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association recommends that we engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on five (if not all) days of the week. EMHS Move and Improve program is designed to help individuals challenge themselves to meet these standards. Through the use of structured goals, Move and Improve gives you the opportunity to identify the goal that best fits your needs as well as tips and helpful information to keep you motivated along the way!
