There are very few contraindications to physical activity. That said, exercise can pose a challenge for those with medical conditions or even simply for beginners. On this website you’ll find ‘Resources’ that discuss how to approach exercise with common medical conditions and how movement can help. If you’re unsure, try searching the directory for an Exercise Physiologist or discuss with your doctor how you might move more to improve your health and happiness.

Our experience exercising depends on so many factors, one of which is the person leading it. If you’re looking for a personal trainer to help you with specific exercise goals or to help you move more in your gym, read ‘Exercise & Personal Trainers’ for our top tips.

#MoveAgainstCancer is a step challenge and fundraising event for Cancer Council. People are invited to join the event that runs throughout September, track their steps and raise money for a fantastic cause. The step challenge encourages people of all ages, abilities and fitness levels to move more during the event which is shown to improve so many health outcomes…including reducing the risk of several types of cancer.

Trial and error and an open mind are important to finding exercise that you’ll enjoy! Use the ‘Filter’ to select aspects of physical activity you’ll enjoy more or if you’re feeling especially wild, set the activities to be ‘Sorted Randomly’ and pick something you haven’t tried before. There are so many factors that influence how much we enjoy a physical activity: it might be the intensity, the group we’re with, our level of competence, the instructor, the movements, a sense of achievement or the environment we’re in.

The benefits are vast and almost unbelievable, to name a few key things:
1. Reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression.
2. Increase cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia.
3. Reduce the risk of several cancers including breast, colon and prostate.
4. Reduce all-cause mortality risk.
5. Treat and even help cure Type 2 Diabetes.
6. Reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
7. Improve pain and function in conditions like Osteoarthritis.

The Do More Movement Directory is completely free to use and will always be free for people to find their next physical activity. The activities you find will cost a varying amount, you can search for free events/activities, but other activities will require a membership or one-off cost. If cost is a barrier, contact Doctor Do More via admin@do-more.live who will help arrange free trials with your preferred physical activity. There should be no barriers to better health!
