Exercise Right Month 2025: Who Moves You?
Exercise Right Month 2025 is a national campaign running throughout May, encouraging Australians to engage in 30 minutes of intentional exercise each day. Organised by Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA), this year's theme, "Who Moves You?" focuses on the importance of staying active and encourages people to reflect on who or what inspires them to move—whether it’s for health, enjoyment, connection or personal goals.
Why “Who Moves You”?
This year’s theme is all about the people in your life who inspire you to be active. Whether it’s a friend, family member or community group, those around us can help keep us motivated, on track and committed to our health goals. This month, take the time to recognise the people who encourage you to move and think about how you can inspire others to do the same.
The Benefits of Exercise
- Physical Health: Regular exercise helps strengthen the heart, muscles, and bones. It can also help reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure.
- Mental Health: Exercise can reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety. It can also help improve your mood and increase brain capacity. Physical activity also promotes better sleep, which is essential for overall health.
- Emotional Well-being: Regular physical activity can help build self-esteem, reduce stress and increase feelings of happiness and relaxation.
- Social Connections: Participating in group sports or fitness classes can help foster a sense of community and offer opportunities to meet new people, reducing loneliness and isolation (Better Health Channel).
