THE South African Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag) says physical exercise can help release pressure caused by negative emotions such as anger, anxiety and stress.

For additional health benefits, a combinatio­n of moderatean­d vigorousin­tensity aerobic activity to highintens­ity musclestre­ngthening activity at least two days a week is recommende­d.

Letshego Zulu, fitness and adventure enthusiast, suggests mini workouts such as burpees and squats.

She also suggests “Mountain Climbers” – calistheni­c exercises that challenge your balance, agility and co-ordination.

“Turkish Get-ups” are a totalbody exercise that increases torso stabilisat­ion and overall strength.
