GETTING ACTIVE
As the pandemic continues, many people have found themselves more and more inactive. Repetitive lockdowns, cold wet weather, and cumulative loneliness has resulted in reduced physical wellness. However, turning your mind to get physically active is imperative during the pandemic.
Physical activity is often discussed in psychological research as paramount to improved mental health. Moving your muscles, maintaining activity and getting outdoors is correlated with increased reported levels of happiness and overall well-being. If you can’t be outdoors, stay active in your home. Today there are many ways to stay physically active within your home environment based on free Apps and other social media outlets.
This week, we are hoping to inspire a new present day goal to improve hour level of physical activity. Today’s efforts can be the becoming of a longer term fitness challenge. Start moving today as investment in tomorrow’s challenges. Metro is excited to announce a community wide effort to celebrate community, physical activity and psychological wellness. We hope you’ll join us for our Life Worth Living Fundraiser, May 2, 2021 at 12:00 pm EST. Details about our community effort to exercise together can be found at https://metronydbt.com/life-worth-living-ride-fundraiser/
