Exercise and movement

Together with a healthy diet, regular exercise is vital to human health, both physical and mental. Over-reliance on the internal combustion engine means that most people in developed countries now get less exercise than they need to maintain optimum health. Gardening and cycling are both great ways to exercise, but many permaculture practitioners also practice therapeutic forms of movement such as yoga or tai-chi.
