Moving around and doing regular exercise can do wonders for your health, so take May (National Fitness and Sports Month) to get fit and get into the habit of fitness.
May is National Fitness and Sports Month, so when you think it is time to watch TV, get outside and do some exercise! Regular physical activity is good for everyone, regardless of age and body type.
Benefits of Physical Activity

- Adults – Physical activity can lower the risk of heart disease, type-2 diabetes, obesity, and some types of cancer.
- Children and Adolescents – Physical activity can improve muscular fitness, bone health, and heart health.
How can National Fitness and Sports Month make a difference in your life?
Everyone can use this month to help raise awareness about the clear benefits of physical activity and spread the word about new, inventive, and fun ways to get moving!
- Motivate teachers of your children’s school district to make physical activity a part of every student’s day.
- Encourage all families to make small changes to their activity-meter. Taking a small walk after dinner, or going for a bike ride or a hike are great ways to get active during this month.
