Hi everyone,

Sleep, diet, and exercise are often cited as the foundations of our mental health.  You may have experienced that when you don’t sleep well or are hungry that it is harder to control your feelings or be at your best.

 

Exercise is important for our physical health, however, it is equally important for our mental health just like diet and sleep. This week I became aware of a FREE program offered by the YMCA. It is called YGym and it is a free healthy community program for young people and families across Canada! YGym is instructed by YMCA certified fitness instructors and features content based on YMCA Canada’s Health & Fitness Programs and Canada’s Physical Activity Guidelines. It is designed for children of varying ages and abilities and is a great way to get children (or the whole family) active. Check it out!
