Did you know getting 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity a week helps improve overall well-being?
Staying active keeps your body healthy both physically and mentally, keeping down your risk of developing chronic health issues and lowering your risk of illness.
Exercise releases endorphins (hormones that make you feel good), sharpens your focus, and aids sleep quality. Staying physically active also helps increase overall energy and lessens the risk of mood disorders.
Schedule some self-care physical activity in your week to keep healthy! Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Practice yoga
- Try a boxing class
- Go for a walk or run at the park
- Try a free online fitness class
- Take a dance class
- Take up strength training
