Why economically disadvantaged people need resources for health and wellness.

This month the article I am going to share is almost 3-years old! The contents are still very relevant today.

Here is the thumbnail sketch version. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) “According to federal guidelines, adults should perform at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity, or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity, each week. They should also do some muscle-strengthening activity, such as calisthenics or lifting weights, at least twice a week.”

Several studies have shown that the main reason why lower-income people get less exercise than higher-income people is money. What's driving those differences? According to the research, “among the nine indicators, we (CDC) analyzed, the biggest predictor of weekly physical activity at the state level was money: Residents of states with bigger median incomes were more likely to get out and exercise than people in low-income states.”

If you are a person classified in the lower-income brackets and you are looking for the financial means to obtain high-quality exercise and wellness services, contact us. Move4Life might be able to help!
