PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Move More. Stay Active. Age Well.

Everyday movement supports energy, mobility and independence.

Staying active doesn’t require a gym or intense workouts. Regular, enjoyable movement such as walking, stretching, gardening or dancing supports everyday energy, mobility and quality of life at every stage of adulthood.

Movement Is Part of Aging Well

Move a Little, Often

Short bouts of movement throughout the day all add up.

Keep Your Mobility

Stretching and balance activities help you stay comfortable and steady.

Build Strength Gently

Simple strength activities support everyday tasks.

Choose What You Enjoy

You’re more likely to keep doing activities you look forward to.

Try this in your daily life

Add Movement Breaks to a Busy Day

Short, regular breaks from sitting are an easy way to move more without changing your whole schedule.

Based on the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines, which recommend breaking up long periods of sitting as often as possible.

  • Make it social. Walk while you talk on the phone, or invite someone along.
  • Notice how you feel. Build gradually, at a pace that is comfortable for you.
  • Use the weather. On cold or icy days, try indoor walking at a mall or community centre.

Movement Connects to Everything Else

How active you are is linked to how well you sleep, how you handle stress, your energy for time with others and even your food choices. Seeing these areas together helps you notice patterns and spot opportunities for positive change.

Better lifestyle decisions begin with better awareness.
