Be a healthier active you!
Promoting physical activity in your own life will benefit you and all of your family members. Seeing you be active will have a positive impact on your children. Ultimately, our bodies like to move! We feel good when we move! A good website about ways that women can move is called This Girl Can and the site contains numerous ways and activities to incorporate exercise into your life. See the VicHealth sponsored site here: https://thisgirlcan.com.au/ways-to-get-active/
Another great website for you and your family is Move your way, sponsored by the Victorian State Government in Australia. There are some great ideas and resources here: https://health.gov/moveyourway/
