Dads need to exercise just as much as Mums do -  exercise is not just a prescription for weight loss.  In addition to the reasons outlined here regular exercise will: 

• Improve your game - whether it be a casual round of golf, skiing or weekend warrior footie, engaging in regular physical activity will build strength and endurance to perform any sport better.
• Maintain (or in the case of new exercisers - build) muscle when regular weight training is  performed.
• Help in minimising stress which can lead to other ailments such as depression, lowered immunity and weight gain.

 Any exercise is better than none at all, so if you are unable to commit to a gym, then this article is just what you need!  An exercise program specifically designed for the home - so you have no excuses!

If you are looking to join a gym, this article provides some great tips on what to look for.  Location, cost, hours of operation and classes are just a few of the basics to consider.

When looking at classes on offer, one can get a little overwhelmed by what's out there!  Whether you are looking to build muscle, refine your dance moves or find your inner yogi there will be a class out there for you. How do you know what each class is about?  A glossary of classes can be found here.

So as you can see, the reasons for exercise, how to do it and what to look for are not gender specific.  What's more important is that we all do something.  Remember a little bit of something is much better than a whole lot of nothing!
