Everybody benefits from regular exercise. If you have diabetes, or are at risk of diabetes it plays an important role in keeping you healthy.1
Every Australian adult aged 18-64 should commit to at least 30 minutes of activity each day – as recommended by the Department of Health.2
Any kind of physical activity uses energy (calories). The more work the activity takes, the more calories you burn.
Small changes can make a big difference in your health, make it a habit to be more active everyday!
