Lorraine speaks openly about anxiety and the positive effects of exercise on her mental health
In the first of our Work It Out series, Lorraine takes us on a visit to one of her favourite fitness classes to highlight the positive effects of regular exercise on not just our physical health but on our mental health too. Lorraine also speaks honestly and openly about her anxiety and how exercise has helped her to manage it.
Lorraine opens up about her anxiety and admits that 'sometimes, I know I feel completely overwhelmed'. Dr Hilary and Lorraine highlight that anxiety is 'a universal issue' and discuss the ways that exercise can help promote positive mental health.
Following a huge response to Lorraine's conversation about anxiety, Dr Hilary answers your questions on the subject and shares further advice for those struggling with their mental health. He also suggests how you can offer help and support to someone who has anxiety.
