World Mental Health Day spotlights mental health around the world, to raise awareness of mental health issues and encourage efforts to support those experiencing mental health issues. The World Health Organization defines Mental Health as a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn and work well, and contribute to their community.
How Does Exercise Improve Mental Health?
1. Stress Management
2. Increase Energy and Stamina
3. Improve Mood
4. Improves Cognition
1. Stress Management
Exercise boosts the production of endorphins, which enhance mood and promote a sense of well-being. It also reduces cortisol levels which helps to create a balanced emotional state.
Take a Stretch, Pilates or Yoga class and breath.
2. Increase Energy and Stamina
Exercise increases energy and stamina by enhancing cardiovascular efficiency and improving oxygen delivery to muscles.
This increased physical activity directly supports mental health by reducing fatigue and enhancing mood.
Try our Group Cycle, HIIT, Cross Training and Met Con classes.These classes provide a structured cardiovascular workout that keeps your heart rate elevated.
3. Improve Mood
Exercise improves mood by triggering the release of endorphins and serotonin, which are natural mood elevators. This boost can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression, fostering a sense of well-being.
Our Afro dance and Pulse classes will help with improving your mood as classes are fun.
4. Improve Cognition
Exercise increases cognition by increasing blood flow to the brain, which boosts the delivery of oxygen and nutrients essential for brain health.
