The Importance of Exercise
Course overview
For some of us, ‘exercise’ means walking to the kitchen to open the fridge. Mmm, leftover pie. But in reality, life without exercise can contribute to decreases in both physical and mental well-being. Exercise looks different for everyone – but for most of us, it can be something that makes us feel better, if we find the right kind. Truth is, we’re just animals – and all animals benefit from exercise of some kind. It’s not always easy to find the time or motivation, and of course we can’t all be marathon runners or mountain climbers; but most of us can find something that works for us. Even small steps can make a difference, and results can be seen in next to no time. Many people find they’re happier, healthier and have more energy, amongst a myriad of other bonuses.
