As the weather starts to warm up, there are even easier ways to get your exercise in. Even small amounts of movement can improve your overall health, and staying active helps you boost your mood, maintain strength and find more independence.

You don’t have to commit to long workouts to make a difference long-term. Walking, gardening, biking and swimming are some fun, easy ways to jumpstart your exercise routine. Plus, your Align powered by Sanford Health Plan coverage includes exercise classes through our Silver&Fit program.

Regular physical activity can lead to:

• Stronger bones, muscles and joints
• Increased energy and mobility 
• Healthier heart and lungs
• Better balance and flexibility
• Reduced risk of falls and injuries
• Improved mental health

Small steps add up to meaningful improvements, and starting a workout routine doesn’t need to be intimidating. Pick one activity you want to try this week, grab a friend to help keep you motivated or call your primary care provider (PCP) to get more tips on exercises that would work best for you.
