It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek & it's about 'moving more for our mental health'

Being active has incredible benefits for your mental wellbeing, it any small way.

Despite knowing that movement is important for our mental health, many of us aren’t moving enough. Well, according to our new research, this is because we’re too cold, tired, and busy.
