Importance of Exercise

Exercise makes you feel good!

Exercise makes you feel good because it releases chemicals like endorphins and
serotonin that improve your mood. It can also get you out in the world, help to reduce
any feelings of loneliness and isolation, and put you in touch with other people.

How much do I need?

If you exercise regularly, it can reduce your stress and symptoms of mental health conditions.
like depression and anxiety, and help with recovery from mental health issues.
Exercise also helps improves your sleep, which is important in many different ways.
