We’ve all been told that exercise is ‘good’ for us, but did you know that when you work out your body, you work out your brain?

The power of exercise extends far beyond building muscles, losing weight or maintaining a healthy blood pressure.

In this webinar, you’ll discover how moving your body has a myriad of positive effects for your mind, mood and mental health as well!

Learning outcomes

  • The benefits of exercise for your brain
  • How movement can promote neurogenesis (the growth of new cells) in certain regions of your brain
  • The effects that movement can have on mood and mental focus
  • The importance of exercise across the lifespan for healthy ageing
  • Evidence-based movement recommendations (with practical tips for getting started)
  • An appreciation for how amazing your brain and body truly are!
