Regular physical activity is good for everyone's health, and people of all ages and body types can be physically active. National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is a great time to spread the word about the benefits of getting active.

Here are just a few benefits of physical activity:

• Children and adolescents - Improve muscular fitness, bone health, and heart health
• Adults - Lower the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and some types of cancer
• Older adults - Lower the risk of falls and improve cognitive functioning (like learning and judgment skills)

Communities, health professionals, and families can work together to create opportunities for everyone to get more physical activity.
