Exercise Right is a public health initiative created by Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA). Its aim is to inspire all Australians to be healthier and more active by connecting them with accredited exercise professionals. Exercise Right provides a range of free articles, eBooks, videos, factsheets and resources to help get everyone moving no matter their age, ability, location, background, fitness level or health condition.
We want everyone, especially those living with chronic conditions, illness, and injury, to know how to “exercise right” for their specific needs. To do that, we get expert advice from the most qualified exercise professionals in Australia.
Our experts include Accredited Exercise Physiologists, Accredited Exercise Scientists, and Accredited Sports Scientists.

They are backed by years of university education, extensive training and are subjected to annual professional development requirements.
