Sweat Now And Shine Later!

Research shows that moderate levels of exercise are best for most people.

Moderate means:

1. That you breathe a little heavier than normal, but are not out of breath.  For example, you should be able to chat with your walking partner, but not easily sing a song.
2. That your body feels warmer as you move, but not overheated or very sweaty.

A tip for staying motivated when you are struggling with mental health.

Bring a buddy! 

Make exercise a social activity.

Exercising with a friend or loved one, or even your kids will not only make exercising more fun and enjoyable, it can also help to motivate you to stick to a workout routine.

You’ll also feel better than exercising alone.

In fact, when you’re suffering from a mood disorder such as depression, the companionship can be just as important as the exercise.
