Physical Activity and COVID-19--- Exercise is Medicine!

Simply walking 30 minutes a day can provide the following:

• Improve immune and inflammation responses to viral infections

• Reduce psychological and physiological stress from the pandemic

• Help treat most of the pre-existing chronic conditions that predict COVID-19 deaths

• Enhance the effectiveness of an eventual vaccine

This is why everyone should continue to exercise during a pandemic while following public health guidelines. For a socially distance experience, I am available for virtual sessions via Zoom or FaceTime. Please email me today for more information Julie@SeniorFit.Health.
