Do you exercise daily?
Are you up for a challenge of daily exercise during the holidays?
.
The body was made to move. Movement and exercise are great for the mind, body and soul. We understand that exercise is a little more difficult at the moment in Melbourne, however thanks to technology there are so many options available to motivate you to move, even in small spaces.
Just hit up YouTube for a free yoga video or Zumba workout. Or download one of the many free apps for short burst workouts, like the 7-minute workout app or Nike run club. If you are allowed outside, go for walks or runs. Challenge yourself to a couch to 5K run or to move at least once a day. Now we can socially distance walk with friends that live in our 5km zone, invite a friend to join you.
.
There are no rules, just do what feels good for you. Even if you pump out the tunes and jump around your bedroom, this will elevate your heart rate, your mood, and your overall wellbeing.
.
What option will you pick?

- Setting a regular bed and wake time? Are you getting good quality sleep?😴
.
Sleep is such an important part of our lives yet most of us don’t pay enough attention to it. When we sleep well, it can help us feel good physically and mentally, and even motivate us to achieve great things! But if we don’t get enough sleep it can have huge negative impacts. Bad sleeping habits, lack of sleep or poor sleep quality can make us feel tired and sluggish all day, can prevent us from exercising, it can make us reach for sugary foods and it can even make us grumpy.
.
There are many things we can do to improve our sleep including
- Setting a regular bed and awake time
- Avoiding day naps
- No caffeine or sugar after 2pm
- Eating balanced meals and finishing dinner at least 2 hours before bed
- Minimising screen time after 8pm
- Meditating or belly breathing before bed
- Regular exercise each day
If you are struggling with your sleep or overall wellbeing and need some help, then please reach out to Valley Youth or one of the services below;

Today is RUOK? Day - a reminder to check in on those in our lives and provide them with support and connection if things aren't OK 💛💛
