PARTICIPATING in Active April had only been the start of boosting health and wellbeing, said Inglewood and District’s Health Service dietician and health promotion office Kellie Nguyen.
“We want to encourage all our staff and community members to continue prioritising exercise,” she said.
“Whether it’s fitting in 10 or 30 minutes a day, every minute counts towards improving your physical and mental health.
“Exercise doesn’t have to be a chore, it can be as simple as taking a walk around the block, dancing to your favourite tunes, or trying out a new yoga routine. The key is to find an activity that you enjoy and that fits into your daily routine.
“Remember, taking care of your health is not a one-time event, it’s a lifelong journey. So, let’s keep moving and striving towards a healthier, happier future together.”
Kellie said participation in Active April had celebrated fitness in the community and also involved IDHS staff. Cindy Gould and Shanaye Alexander took top spots in the IDHS staff challenge.
