Here at Aardvark Sport’s Shop we are gearing up for Mental Health Awareness Month!
Did you know… Engaging in 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity exercise can significantly improve mental health, potentially reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, while boosting mood, self-esteem, and overall well-being…and being side by side with someone invites conversation and encouragement.
We are excited to launch a new mental health movement challenge for the month of May, TALK TO YOUR MATES. For 4-weeks we are committing to 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. That’s just 30 minutes 5 days of the week! Whether it’s a walk, run, pilates, dancing, or hitting the gym, every step counts. During the challenge, do your best to do at least one of these 5 - 30 minute sessions of activity with a buddy! Every conversation counts too, so TALK TO YOUR MATES and together let’s move for our minds and feel the difference.
Aardvark is proud to partner with a budding non-profit, TALK TO YOUR MATES, founded by our own Jon Notary. This challenge will be free for participation. With this monthly challenge, Aardvark Sports Shop is looking forward to assisting in funding the start of TALK TO YOUR MATES through the sale of co-branded merchandise and providing donation opportunities.
