Want to move your body, but hate the gym?

Did yknow that May was Mental Health Awareness month? 

Your mental health is SO important because it can literally impact your mood, energy & self esteem.

In this quick blog we will give you some tips on how you can improve your mental health by simply moving your body!

Moving your body stimulates the release of endorphins (the body's natural mood-enhancing chemicals) which can help alleviate symptoms of depression and reduce anxiety.

This is a great opportunity for stress relief, improving sleep quality, boosting self-confidence, and enhancing cognitive function.

By incorporating daily movement into your routine, you can experience a greater sense of well-being and an improved overall mood.

Here's a few ways to incorporate more movement into your lifestyle:

  1. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator whenever possible.
  2. Park your car farther away from your destination and walk the remaining distance.
  3. Take short walking breaks during your workday. Set reminders to stand up, stretch, and take a stroll around your office or workspace.
  4. Choose active hobbies or recreational activities that involve movement, such as dancing, hiking, or cycling.
  5. Walk or bike to nearby errands instead of using your car.
  6. Set aside dedicated time for exercise, whether it's going for a hot girl walk, jogging, or attending fitness classes.
  7. Use a pedometer or a fitness tracking app to monitor your daily steps and set achievable goals.

Remember, every step counts, and by gradually incorporating more movement into your daily routine, you'll experience the numerous benefits that an active lifestyle offers.

Moving your body every day is not just a lifestyle choice but a necessity for you to feel good physically and mentally. The positive effects of regular physical activity goes waaay beyond weight management- it improves mental health, reduces risk of chronic diseases & increases energy!

Now you have a few things you can add into your lifestyle to get that blood pumping & move your body WITHOUT going to the gym!
