Regular physical activity is essential for overall health and well-being. Active commuting is a great way to incorporate movement into your daily routine. It supports cardiovascular health and lowers the risk of chronic conditions like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
The Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week for adults. Active commuting can help you meet this goal without needing extra time for exercise.
Whether you walk, bike, or combine transit with walking, choosing active transportation is a practical, sustainable way to improve your health.
Active commuting not only supports your physical health—it also benefits your mental well-being. Research shows that people who actively commute report better mental health than those who don’t. It can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression while improving mood and overall well-being.
It may also boost productivity and job satisfaction, creating a positive shift in workplace culture. All the more reason to join our team!
