Exercise is the basis for a healthy musculoskeletal system. It keeps muscles, joints, bones, tendons and ligaments efficient, supports circulation and metabolism and promotes mental balance.
Even small, regular activities in day-to-day life have a positive effect – from climbing stairs to short walks.
Your musculoskeletal system functions optimally when your muscles and joints are regularly engaged. Muscles stabilise joints, distribute forces evenly and improve mobility and balance.

At least 90 minutes of daily exercise with a mixture of endurance, strength and coordination activities.
Regular exercise is essential for an efficient musculoskeletal system. It strengthens muscles and joints, supports circulation and metabolism and contributes to mental balance. Even small, everyday movement stimuli make an important contribution to long-term mobility and well-being.
