Continuing with my Hungry for More series, this week I discuss why exercise is about so much more than weight loss. I cover the numerous mental and spiritual benefits of exercise along with the various physical benefits of different types of exercise.

Highlights:

• Learn the minimum amount of exercise per day to get some benefit (it’s lower than you think!).
• Find out how physical stress can impact your tolerance for psychological stress.
• See how exercise offers opportunities for mindfulness.
• Discover how exercise can impact your mood and cognition.
• Explore how labelling yourself can limit your possibilities.
• Learn why it’s important to do different types of exercises.
