Managing Anxiety with Exercise

Exercise is great for our mental health and there are plenty of ways we can continue to do this, even in isolation.

Being physically active tends to be easier if you choose an activity that you enjoy, and that fits into your daily life. If you force yourself to do something you don’t enjoy, you’re much less likely to keep it going and experience benefits to your mental health.
