Get Moving!
Physical activity is important for people of all ages.
Being active can help you feel better physically and mentally, sleep better, and function better in your day to day life. You don’t have to join a gym to exercise. Making time to move more throughout your day can make a big difference. Small changes add up.
This interactive Get Moving Quiz can help you learn if you are moving enough to stay healthy at your age. Take it for personalized recommendations.
