Because, trust me, once you start being more active, it releases things in your brain, such as endorphins, that make you feel absolutely fantastic.
Ever thought about how a simple jog or yoga session could lift your spirits? In this engaging episode of the Oxfordshire Recovery College Podcast, the hosts dive into the powerful connection between exercise and mental well-being. Featuring two new guests, the conversation covers everything from the mood-boosting magic of endorphins to the pitfalls of overtraining. The guests share their insights on how regular physical activity can enhance mental health, reduce anxiety, and improve overall quality of life.
They also discuss the importance of a balanced diet and how it complements your exercise routine. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows; the episode also warns about the dangers of pushing yourself too hard.

The experts offer practical advice on how to recognize these signs and suggest breaking your workouts into manageable intervals to avoid burnout.
One standout moment is when a guest talks about the liberating feeling of not being intimidated by gym culture. Forget about needing fancy gear or looking like a fitness model; the average person can benefit immensely from regular exercise. This episode serves as an encouraging guide for anyone looking to start or maintain an active lifestyle for better mental health.
