It boosts your mental and physical energy and is great for our emotional well being too as it releases stress and tension that builds up each day! As we workout we increase those 'feel happy' mood-boosting endorphins and also release the stress hormon, cortisol, as we sweat! It really is the easiest, free way to boost our energy and sense of well-being!
To gain the benefits, you don't need to do a 10km run or lift heavy weights - simple exercise such as going for a walk, yoga, 20 minutes of cardio or to start .... even simply stretching daily will have huge benefits.
This current period at home is a great time to explore the world of online exercise and find something that suits you.

YouTube: Yoga With Adrienne
YouTube is another fab way to fit in your daily workout. You can type in almost any exercise and you are guaranteed to get something that fits.
I've followed Yoga With Adrienne for the past couple of years and really love her range of yoga workouts. She is also incredibly likeable with a lovely, down to earth approach to each session.
If you are a dog lover, she usually has her adorable, super chilled dog Benji with her too!

As a busy working mum of two teenagers, I know that family life can be fun but also chaotic and busy.
Mental Health is important for everyone. Whether you call it 'mental health' or ‘emotional health’ and well-being .. it is just as important as our physical health. In short, it refers to the thoughts we think and feelings we are experiencing and becoming aware of these so that we can identify when they are not serving or.
“Discombobulated” is a word which deserves to be said out loud. It is a brilliant word but what does it mean and is it even a real word?
