Free classes at Ethos up for grabs as part of Beat the Blues Week
Saturday 24 Jan 2009
Physical exercise is under-rated as a way to prevent the blues. There is strong evidence to support the fact it can help people with anxiety and depression, and some to show it may prevent these problems from developing in the first place. Regular physical activity can lift your mood and help you deal with feelings like anger and anxiety, particularly if the exercise is fairly high intensity. Pounding on a treadmill isn’t necessarily required- just being more active by cycling, walking at a fast pace and sports can all be beneficial. Other forms of exercise such as yoga and pilates have been shown to be particularly effective at beating anxiety and stress.
To give you a taster of some of these activities, Sport Imperial has reserved 10 free places on the following classes at Ethos.
