About this Course

Research shows that physically active people are more satisfied with their lives and that exercise itself is strongly linked to happiness. In fact, within five minutes after moderate exercise you are likely to experience a mood-enhancement effect. Getting 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity a week as recommended by Canada’s Physical Activity Guidelines, reduces levels of stress hormones, cortisol and adrenaline, and increases endorphins and feel-good chemicals, dopamine and serotonin. Physical activity literally boosts your mood.
