Whether it’s hitting a daily step goal, taking a stretch break at the office or dropping into a spin class, regular physical activity has undeniable benefits. 

Exercise is Medicine (EIM) is a global initiative that aims to make the most of these benefits by encouraging health-care providers to prescribe exercise as part of evidence-based patient care.
