Physical Activity

Regular physical exercise is a fundamental pillar of healthy living. Its known benefits include lowering blood pressure, improving cardiovascular health, controlling body weight and protecting against a variety of diseases. Recent research also indicates that there is a correlation between exercise and immune function. Exercise can help the immune system identify and deal with pathogens and it slows down changes to the immune system associated with aging, therefore reducing the risk of infections over time. To promote a healthy lifestyle, there are many ways to design spaces for exercise at home. Lap pools and swim spas, outdoor gyms and exercise spaces, sports courts and trails, are all ways to exercise in nature in the privacy of your own home.
