Did you know that mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated with equal care?

The benefits of exercise on mental health are significant and varied. When it comes to exercise, I think the key is MOVEMENT.

Movement can include:

Running.
Gardening.
Playing outside with friends.
Swimming.
Pickleball.

Research shows that regular physical activity has been shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being.

Talk to your counselor about fitness and mental health.

Exercise also promotes the release of endorphins - these act as natural mood lifters, leading to feelings of happiness and relaxation.
