Healthy body, healthy mind

By definition, exercise is any bodily activity. The beauty of something being so vague is that you can interpret and apply it how you wish. Rather than focusing on the physical and aesthetic components of exercise, I prefer to take a holistic approach and look at the bigger picture. If you are able bodied and are in a position where you can move your body pain-free, you are privileged. This privilege should be recognised and thus, movement in any shape or form should be a celebration of what your body can do.

The benefits of exercise go far beyond what you see externally. If you are moving your body, increasing your heart rate and releasing endorphins, the benefits to your mental, physical and even oral health are immeasurable. Those of us who look after our physical health subsequently look after our mental health, and looking after our oral health is a by-product of this. Imagine having the influence to inspire people to engage in a form of exercise that they enjoy, something which they enjoy so much that finding the motivation to do so isn’t even a factor for participation. The subsequent effects on their health are so profound that they will be motivated and committed to stick to it long term.
