Segment 3: Get Walking (20:10) It can be hard to keep our bodies well and strong through exercise, especially through the colder months when the sun gets up late and getting out of bed feels so hard! In fact, recent data indicates that only 22% of Australians are meeting recommended physical activity guidelines. Could this be you? Elizabeth Calleja from the Heart Foundation is here to help.  She explains all the benefits exercise has that we might have even forgotten about as well as effective ways in which we can really reach our patients.
