The physical benefits of regular movement and exercise in improving physical health have long been established. Healthcare professionals encourage us to stay active to improve and maintain good health. Exercise is also considered vital for maintaining mental fitness, and helps to reduce stress. Studies have shown that regular participation in aerobic activity decreases overall levels of tension, elevates and stabilizes emotions and moods, and improves sleep and self-esteem. Ryan Osborne, Kinesiologist and owner of Oz Coaching joins DeeAnne Feltham-Scott, OHS Educational Consultant to discuss how regular movement and exercise throughout the workday can help to manage daily stress.
