Health & exercise for mental health

It is only language that separates the mind and body, what we all have is a wonderful system, and by looking after our mental health, this impacts physical health and looking after physical health improves mental health.

When we get our blood pumping from exercise, it is this that helps the brain function to be at its best. Exercise can build and condition the brain, alongside developing the bodies muscles and conditioning the heart and lungs for increases in circulation and efficiency.

So what is all this about?

Mike Ward is a qualifed personal trainer in Chandlers Ford Hampshire, and has enjoyed his fitness from a young age, when he was in the Army reserves, he was always asked to wear the yellow vest and set the running pace for training and his troop.  He continues today with maintaining his fitness and enjoys training for his running 'expeditiions'.

Mike provides online personal training and fitness coaching, much of it is alongside mental health interventions, however these are also requsted seperately too.

Bespoke programs are tailored to your individual needs these are results focussed, science and evidenced based programs. The personalised programs are set out with clear instructions, videos and include weekly accountability and motivational calls.

Mike firmly believes that physical health certainly contributes to increases in mental health, testing ourselves physically contributes to increasing our psychological tolerance and resillience.
