Focus on Walking and Running
In this next Mental Health Awareness Week movement series, we shift our focus to walking and running, accessible forms of exercise with tremendous mental health benefits.
At St. George’s, we often organise group walks, which are great for boosting endorphins and improving mood.
Understanding the Impact
Walking and running can significantly improve cognitive function and reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. They're excellent for setting goals, whether it's improving time, distance, or consistency, which builds mental resilience.
Engaging Ideas for Families
We suggest families explore new trails or participate in local charity runs.
These activities not only keep you physically active but also provide a sense of accomplishment and community connectivity.
