Thursday 15 June, 12.30pm AEST - 1.30pm AEST
Theme: Move
Topic: 10 Facts everyone should know about Exercise + Men's Health
Presenter: Glen Poole, Australian Men's Health Forum
On average, more are more likely than women to stay healthy by being active. But most men aren’t active enough to stay healthy.
Being unfit is bad for our health. Research shows that 10 Australian men a day die as a result of being physically inactive.
A lack of exercise kills more men each year than prostate cancer or suicide or road traffic accidents.
In his talk we share the information you need to know about exercise and men’s health. This includes:
• Why being inactive is bad for our health,
• How staying fit and strong fights off disease,
• How much activity men need to do to stay healthy.
