When we're active, the body releases feel-good hormones that can improve our mood and boost our energy.

Other benefits of exercise for mental health include:

• boosting our self-esteem and confidence
• increasing motivation and focus
• reducing tension, anxiety, stress and mental fatigue
• helping to calm the mind, especially when dealing with difficult emotions like anger, frustration and sadness
• reducing loneliness by offering new ways to get together with family and friends and meet new people*
