|  | | | | National Physical Fitness and Sports Month is underway! | | 
To most people exercise is freeing, meditative, calming and rejuvenating all in one -and while it’s hard to fit it into our busy lives, it’s crucial to do so. Whether it’s hitting the gym or joining a team sport with friends, we need to be moving.
There are just too many benefits to an active lifestyle to ignore. The main health benefits of exercise include: stress reduction/relaxation, improvement in energy levels and moods, maintenance of strong bones and joints, and prevention of high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.
So what’s really important to know about exercise? Most people either aren’t sure “how” to exercise or they think it’s too much work. And a lot of people associate being fit with long, sweaty workouts at the local gym filled with a myriad of intimidating fitness equipment and being too self-conscious around already fit people to really let go and enjoy their workouts.
But exercise has no shame. The moment you lace up your shoes and start your workout, you’re already a rock star as far as taking the first step. No one will judge you for making an effort.
So what are you waiting for? May the fitness be with you this month and beyond!

Mental Health Month1 in 5 people will be affected with the reality of living with a mental illness. During May, the National Alliance on Mental health and the rest of the country are raising awareness of mental health. Each year we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support people with mental illness and their families.
WhyCareThe WhyCare? is an opportunity to share the importance of care in our relationships to others, in mental health treatment and services and in support and education to millions of people, families, caregivers and loved ones affected by mental illness. Demonstrating how and why we care brings more to awareness by showing our actions and connections to others. Care has the power to make a life-changing impact on those affected by mental health conditions.
