Move Stronger
National guidelines recommend that adults do muscle strengthening activities on at least 2 days each week.
Aim for a minimum of 15 to 30 minutes per sessions.
Why move stronger
Did you know that inactive adults lose 3% to 8% of their muscle mass each decade? To help keep your muscles and bones strong as you get older it's important to include strengthening activities into your week.

Doing strength activities can also:
- boost your metabolism
- stabilise blood sugar levels
- improve posture
- reduce musculoskeletal pain and injury
- improve energy levels
- elevate HDL good cholesterol levels which protects you against heart disease
How to move stronger
Many people think you have to join a gym to do strength training. The truth is, strengthening your muscles doesn't have to involve doing weights; yoga, pilates, calf raises, squats, push-ups and sit-ups also count as strength exercises.
