April 18, 2026: *National Excercise Day.*
It is time to put away that smart phone or computer, get off the couch and get moving! Take a quick walk in a park or go for a jog, do yoga and pranayam, visit a gym, play games or do any other exercise.
The best way to get started celebrating National Exercise Day is to get moving. It’s never too late to begin a new habit, so take this opportunity to put on those sneakers and get out to do some exercise in the open.
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.
Make plans to meet up for a walk, go for a bicycle ride, or go through a strength training course at the local park together.
In the past, for the average person exercise was built into their daily routines. Whether walking to the well to get water, doing physical activities such as feeding animals or making farm machines work, gardening, kneading bread in the kitchen, or even riding a horse to get to the next town, exercise was part of almost every person’s life.
But in today’s age of technology and industry, where almost anything needed can be delivered right to the doorstep and people can even work from home, getting an adequate amount of physical exercise can be tricky.
Moving the body is a vital part of not only physical health but it also impacts the emotional and mental health as well. Exercise works together with the body to promote a longer, happier life for anyone who does it on a regular basis.
No matter the age or physical ability, every human can benefit from even a little bit of exercise.
Exercise is encouraged to be done with friends and family, aiming to make it feel less like work and more like play.
"Your body is designed to move, not sit. Get up and walk,"- Les Brown.
