Pontiac walks for health with Pontiac GMF

The importance of physical activity in the context of health is often taken for granted. In day-to-day living, exercise can have such a positive effect on our overall health (sleep, energy levels, physical health, mood etc.) yet we still take it for granted and it is not prioritized in our busy lives. For many people, exercise falls to the bottom of a never ending to-do list.
The Pontiac Family Medicine Group (GMF)’s nurses will resume their weekly walking group.

The group, which encourages physical activity and regular walking, will run from the first week of April 2018 until the third week of October 2018. The aim of the group is to get people to start walking.
Current guidelines indicate that we all need at least 150 minutes of physical activity on a weekly basis.
