Movement is Medicine! Did you know:
The Canadian Movement Guidelines recommend adults get 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise per week, and perform strengthening exercises twice a week
Meeting these guidelines has been associated with improved health outcomes: lower risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, several cancers, anxiety, depression, dementia, etc.
Running is an accessible way to stay active and is specifically associated with a 27% lower risk of death due to all-cause mortality, 30% lower risk of death due to cardiovascular disease, and 23% lower risk of death due to cancer! (Pedisic et al. 2020)
Any type of physical movement, at any intensity, is better than none - are you ready to get started?
