Mindful Movement
Life has become structured in a way that makes it very easy to avoid movement, but our bodies are designed to move! Being active improves your mood, helps decrease depression and anxiety, increases positive self-esteem, and improves sleeping patterns.
4-Week Mindful Movement Initiative
The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines suggest that Canadians 18-64 years of age should accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate-to vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more. In addition, it’s also beneficial to add muscle and bone strengthening activities using major muscle groups, at least 2 days per week.
This initiative shares simple ideas and tips to add more movement to your day, and provides helpful strategies to set you up for success.
