Have you ever thought Gym was all about lifting weights and hours of sweating? Have you ever realized that every minute you spend exercising has been nourishing your mental health as well?
We have Mairi Morrison, the upcoming CEO of APMP UK Chapter, who will challenge your thoughts and prove with her experience how exercises and mental well being are connected.
Listen to Mairi as she narrates the stories of her first swimming lessons and her swim across the English Channel, Game of Life, the challenges she faced in various phases of her life and how she balanced proposals and pandemic with her love for exercise. Listen to her as she differentiates between exercising and training because, "If you are not going to do now, when are you going to do?"
