Exercise is not only beneficial for our physical health but can support mental health too.
The act of moving our bodies has been linked with reducing anxiety, stress and depression. While burning calories and encouraging blood circulation to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, working out stimulates chemicals in the brain, enabling us to feel relaxed, boosting our confidence and improving our self-esteem. It also gives us energy, helps sleeping patterns and can be a fun, social experience – whether you recruit a gym buddy or join a local team.
