CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 121

This episode is the next installment of ‘Coping skills for adults’ and I want to focus on the movement style. Movement and exercise is a strange one. Before doing it, you really don’t want to, it takes a lot of momentum but once you’ve completed a workout don’t you just feel amazing with all those feel-good hormones running through your body? This isn’t just a feeling, it’s been scientifically proven! Movement helps your physical functioning, studies also show it improves your cognitive function but most interestingly exercise improves your mental health.

The topics I cover in this episode are:

How can exercise help?
What types of exercise are best?
Working out what works for you with exercise
Different exercises to try out; boxing, swimming, hula hooping, golfing etc
Keeping exercise sustainable
The ways I enjoy exercise
