When should I exercise?

As regularly as you can. There will be days when you just don’t feel like exercise – you may feel tired or be too busy or anxious about something. If you keep to your routine and exercise at times like this, you will almost certainly feel better. Why?

If you are tired, exercise tends to give you energy. If you are worried, it can take your mind off your concerns for a while. Even if you can’t 'exercise', a 15 minute walk can help you to clear your mind and relax. You may find it helpful to listen to music at the same time.

It’s best not to do too much in the evening. Being active will generally help you to sleep but, if you exercise late in the evening, you may find it difficult to settle.
