Why Is It Important to Have a Healthy Active Lifestyle?

Active living means integrating physical activity into your everyday routines. This could include riding your bike to the grocery store or taking the stairs instead of an elevator when the option is available. And, as always, incorporating exercise into your routine three or four times a week strengthens your well-being.

By staying physically active, you’re doing a favor to both your mental and physical health. Benefits include healthy weight management, lower blood pressure, reduced risk of depression, stronger bones and more. Studies even show that regular physical activity adds years to your lifespan – so you’ll live longer simply by staying active.

At Stonebridge at Montgomery, we know an active lifestyle is vital to your health and well-being, which is why we offer engaging programs to ensure residents keep moving. This post explores ways you’re able to stay active right within our community.

For those looking for something inside, our state-of-the-art fitness center has everything you need for an effective workout. You’re able to spend time in the gym by yourself or join us for some of our structured group fitness activities, like Restorative Yoga or our Slow-Paced Walking Group. We also offer an indoor, heated pool for your use year-round.

When the weather is nice, venture outside and enjoy our grounds and walking trails. You’ll take pleasure in strolling or jogging in stunning greenspace, surrounded by plenty of fresh air and sunshine. If you have a green thumb, you’ll especially delight in the on-site greenhouse.
