Whatever your age physical activity plays an important part in your health and well-being.
Some people think it is only sportsmen and women who need to build physical activity into their lives. However everyone needs to keep their bodies working well in order to be healthy.
Physical activity is necessary to stimulate the body's own natural maintenance and repair system.
Your bones, joints and muscles - especially your heart - will actually stay younger if you keep them busy. If you are not physically active you increase your health risks in many ways.
