Improve Mental Health

Nearly half of all Australians will experience a mental health condition such as anxiety, depression or chronic stress at some point in their lives. These conditions often present with both emotional and physical symptoms—such as low energy, disrupted sleep, muscle tension, and reduced motivation to move.

Regular exercise has been shown to play a powerful role in improving mental wellbeing. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins (natural mood boosters), serotonin (regulates mood and sleep), and dopamine (linked to motivation). It also helps lower cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress.

Beyond these chemical effects, exercise helps build routine, which can provide a sense of structure, purpose and accomplishment. It also improves confidence and self-efficacy—especially when exercise goals are realistic, measurable and supported.
