The Connection Between Exercise and Mental Health

February 09, 2024

The levity we feel in the moments after exercise and beyond is no coincidence...there is a scientific connection between exercise and our mental health. And where we see a positive impact on our mental health due to exercise...there are dangers with an inactive lifestyle. 

 

So, I’ve invited Diane Pulleyblank onto the podcast to talk about WHY there’s a connection but more importantly...creative tips on how to exercise and how to get started!  

 

Diane has been actively working in the health and wellness industry for over 25 years. For 10 years of those years, she was General Manager of a large multi-sport health club and on top of all of that she was an Associate Professor at Barnard College as well as a continuing education provider for the American Council on Exercise. And you’ve probably seen her onsite delivering topics like these in person...welcome to the program Diane!
