Let’s Welcome HEALTH PROMOTION BOARD

LEAN Walk-a-Jog 2010 is partnering the HEALTH PROMOTION BOARD!

The mission of Health Promotion Board is to “Promote Health Excellence by Empowering Individuals to Take Ownership of Their Health” and we are delighted to be part of this national effort to promote healthy living.

Getting physically active will definitely improve your overall health and wellbeing, as it:-

1. Gives you more energy
2. Promotes mental health by reducing stress and anxiety
3. Promotes heart and lung fitness
4. Prevent falls by keeping bones and muscles strong
5. Helps maintain a healthy weight
6. Prevents and controls diabetes
7. Reduces the risk of chronic diseases

Physical activity is simply any activity that gets your body moving. Not only jogging, swimming, cycling are considered as physical activities, even daily activities such as taking the stairs, brisk walking and even doing housework helps to strengthen your body.

Just only 30 minutes a day, you will enjoy a good quality of life!

If you have not been physically active, just aim to start engaging in any physical activity. For a start, you can brisk walk for 10 minutes a day, three times a week, and you will feel the difference as you gain better health and have more energy to enjoy life.

Check out the Brisk Walk booklet by Health Promotion Board to get you motivated.

So don’t wait – get active today by signing up in our YWD LEAN WALK-A-JOG!
