Benefits of having a healthy body & mind

• Reducing stress and improving stress response – the pandemic has changed a lot of people’s lives, with some people having increased anxiety levels.

• Improved memory and concentration – if you can keep motivated and maintain regular exercise during the week, then this will keep your brain charged. Keeping up with your exercise will ensure that you’re getting the most out of your working periods.
