Football season is the time for fans to relax, have fun, and cheer on their favorite teams. But physical therapists want to remind you not to neglect your own need for exercise while you're watching "the big game".

Physical therapists support the U.S. Surgeon General's recommendation that moderate-intensity physical activity done five or more times per week (such as 30 minutes of brisk walking) has substantial health benefits to people of all ages. Benefits include reducing your risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure as well as helping with weight control and relieving pain associated with some forms of arthritis.

Find a friend and go for a brisk walk. Whether it is during half time, lunch time, or anytime! If you have questions about what exercise is best for you, contact us and we will get you ready for your next "big event"!
