Studies show regular exercise can reduce the risk of a major illness, improve your mental health and mood, and support your overall health and wellbeing—regardless of your age.

Wellbeats’ high-quality, expert-led fitness classes can help people of all ages live a happier, healthier life. From creative, learning-based activities for kids to healthy-aging classes for older adults and all interests and abilities in between, Wellbeats has something for everyone.

Physical Activity Benefits for All Ages

Regular physical activity throughout your lifetime is one of the most important things you can do for your physical health and mental wellbeing. The benefits to physical health include weight management, lowered risk of disease and chronic conditions, and improved fitness and strength.

Mental health benefits of exercise range from an instant mood boost to a decreased risk of depression. The JAMA Psychiatry published a report suggesting that substantial mental health benefits can be achieved at physical activity levels even below the public health recommendations, with additional benefit for meeting the minimum recommended target but limited extra benefit beyond that. “Assuming causality, one in nine cases of depression might have been prevented if everybody in the population was active at the level of current health recommendations,” the report concluded.

Physical activity supports the growth and development of children as well. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the health benefits of regular physical activity in children and adolescents include improved academic performance through improved attention and memory, improved strength by building strong muscles and bones, and improved long-term health by reducing the risk of several chronic diseases.

Likewise, physical activity offers unique benefits to aging adults. It can help alleviate physical ailments that are more common with age. In older adults, the key benefits of physical activity include preventing bone loss, relieving osteoarthritis pain, and helping prevent chronic diseases, according to the National Council on Aging (NCOA). Additionally, the CDC reports that physical activity helps older adults maintain the ability to live independently and maintains healthy bones, muscles, and joints, in turn reducing the risk of falling and fracturing bones.
