Physical activity helps our body and mind in many ways, but here are a few of the key ones:

• Exercise releases chemicals in your brain, like serotonin and endorphins, which are great for your mood

• It can also lead to better sleep and give you more energy

• Physical movements can help ease tightness in your shoulders and neck, which often come with stress and anxiety

• It also makes you feel like you achieved something

• Regular exercise can help reduce your risk of serious health issues

• And lastly, but not least given the current situation, regular physical activity is great for your immune system

Idea! Complete a workout at home. Include a variety of high intensity activities for example push ups, sit ups, lunges, squats and burpees. How many reps of each exercise can you do in 30 seconds, maybe CHALLENGE Mr Poppa or your TA teacher - wonder how many reps they can do?
