Replay: Movement Strategies for Adults

CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 161

During the week what physical exercise do you do? Or which would you like to do? Today Janine looks at movement coping styles, specifically big body movement and how exercise helps your mental health and not just your physical and cognitive functioning. Did you know that those who exercise have fewer days of poor mental health than those who don’t exercise. But what is the best activity for you and your lifestyle?

This episode discusses:

  • Thinking about the exercise type that makes you feel relaxed, something that you want to do and is sustainable in the long term. 

  • The small day to day moments of movement, like kitchen dance parties 

  • Group exercise and the social side that can come from being with people

  • How exercise needs to bring joy to the person

  • Other examples of physical exercise you could try.
