Description
In summary the presentation will outline what is commonly known about the positive relationship between physical activity and psychological wellbeing and mental health, including details of exercise dose/intensity etc. However, it can be difficult for people to get these benefits - mostly because they experience it as a struggle, which isn't worth sustaining. Using some stats, (inc. how 62 % of Britons would not exercise even if their life depended on it! [British Heart Foundation]) I will begin to explore how changing the way we approach physical exercise, the sorts of motivators we focus on, the introduction of fun and pleasure into the regime and, by extension, nature can all improve our relationship with something that is so beneficial.
