One of the best things you can do for your mental health is to be physically active.

Engaging in regular physical activity can boost energy levels, relieve tension and stress

and promote an overall sense of wellbeing.

The 2018 Physical Activity guidelines recommend aiming for at least 150 minutes of physical

activity each week.

That may seem like a big number, but remember, any movement counts, even just a few minutes!

Physical activity can be anything from walking and hiking, to yoga, to gardening, or playing

a sport.

Whatever helps you feel good!

The body and mind are closely connected, so when your body feels better, it is likely

that your mind will too!
