National Exercise Day – 18th April 2025
It’s time to put away that smart phone or computer, get off the couch and get moving! If the weather is fine, it would be a great time to take a quick walk or go for a jog. And if it’s still a little cold outside, do some inside aerobic movement such as a treadmill walk or a dance workout. With lots of options based on preference, it’s easy to get involved with National Exercise Day!
How to Celebrate National Exercise Day
Show some love for your body by getting involved with National Exercise Day. Get creative with ways to get involved, including some of these:
Get Moving
The best way to get started celebrating National Exercise Day is to get moving. Some people might have started a resolution for exercise on New Year’s Day that is a long and distance memory. That’s okay! It’s never too late to begin a new habit, so take this opportunity to put on your trainers and get out to do some exercise.
Remember the Benefits of Exercise
Though most people know, here are some little reminders of how important exercise is to the body and mind:
• Exercise can reduce the risk of disease including heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer.
• Exercise strengthens the bones, preventing brittleness and osteoporosis in old age.
• Exercise boosts energy, improves the mood and offers an overall better quality of life.
Get an Exercise Buddy
One of the most difficult things about starting a new habit of exercise is lack of accountability. Invite your partner to buddy up with you in a new habit of exercise. Folks who live alone could find a neighbour or friend who would make a good accountability partner and motivator. Make plans to meet up for a walk, go for a bicycle ride, or go through a strength training course at the local park/gym. Whatever kind of exercise it is, it’s almost always better with a buddy! https://nationaltoday.com/national-exercise-day/
