Health professionals offer ways to overcome barriers

With the stress of day to day life, it is often hard to find the time or the drive to get up of the couch after a long day at the office and trek over to a crowded gym.

Whatever the reason adults lack interest in a regular exercise routine, health professionals are available to help overcome barriers.

"Exercise increases the overall quality of life," said Amie Burns, exercise physiologist at Halifax Health. "It will keep the joints elastic, reduce the risk of injury and will keep your heart healthy."
