Being physically active is one of the most important
things that people of all ages can do to improve their
health. About $117 billion in annual health care costs
and about 10 percent of premature mortality are
associated with inadequate physical activity. Exercise can
make people feel better, function better, sleep better, and
reduce the risk of a large number of chronic diseases.
This edition of You at Your Best explores the science
behind exercise, the health benefits, and the many ways
to be more active every day. From tai chi to streaming
