Regular movement is important

For members of the Huntington’s disease community being physically active contributes significantly towards overall brain health and wellbeing at any age. However, let’s be honest, we are all a little time poor and the thought of adding another activity to our already busy schedules can be overwhelming.

Nevertheless, the benefits of participating in physical activity far outweigh not doing anything. Be reassured there are many types of physical activity as listed below that will suit your interest and motivate you to participate. 

We would recommend the following for your consideration in order to ensure the inclusion of exercise into your life:

• Select activities that interest you.
• Build on activities you are already doing.
• Track your progress with a fitness app and feel good about your achievements.
• If you are time poor, select physical activities you can do quickly and easily.
• Refer to the Australian physical activity guidelines.
