May Is National Physical Fitness & Sports Month: Let’s Get Moving Together

Nancy Griffin and the team at The Welliot 

At The Welliot, we believe that wellness begins with movement. May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, a great opportunity to focus on the many benefits of staying active and to make physical activity a regular part of your daily life. 

Why Physical Fitness Matters 

Being active supports nearly every aspect of your health. It helps strengthen the heart, boost energy, build muscle and bone, support a healthy weight, and improve your mood. It can also reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and anxiety. 

Staying physically active doesn’t require a gym membership or special equipment. Activities like walking, dancing, swimming, stretching, or even gardening can all make a positive impact on your well-being. 

Fitness for Every Body 

 Everyone’s fitness journey looks different. Whether you are just starting out or have been active for years, every step you take toward movement makes a difference. That might mean going for a walk, playing with your kids at the park, trying a new exercise class, or simply standing up and stretching during your workday. 

No matter your age or ability level, there are ways to move that feel good and work for your lifestyle. 

Ways to Get Moving This May 

Here are a few easy ways to embrace movement throughout the month: 

• Take a walk each day, even if it’s just for a few minutes 

• Try a group fitness class or online workout 

• Explore a new trail or local park 

• Make activity fun by dancing, biking, or playing games with family 

• Set a personal goal and track your progress to stay motivated
