A new study conducted by CQUniversity in Melbourne makes it clear that people need to make the effort to get more exercise.
Australians have not been sleeping well, exercising less and drinking and smoking more than usual. The study looked at how these changes in health behaviours affect depression, anxiety and stress during the crisis.
Lead researcher, Dr Robert Stanton said the study highlighted the need for a variety of health-promotion strategies to be employed to help people adopt or maintain positive health-related behaviours.
To that end, Shepparton has plenty of options for people to undertake healthy exercise without the need to break social distancing rules. Walks around Victoria Lake or along the many walking paths that are now available are a great way to get some fresh air, enjoy the nature while doing the necessary exercise.
