Summary

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It can help

    Control your weight
    Lower your risk of heart disease
    Lower your risk for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome
    Lower your risk of some cancers
    Strengthen your bones and muscles
