April 2024 | Moving more for our mental health
The INDX Sports & Leisure team will be back at West Midlands exhibition venue, Cranmore Park with an energetic one-day pop-up show on Wednesday 12 June 2024.
This year's theme of Mental Health Awareness Week is "Moving more for our mental health" and, with the INDX Sports & Leisure Show fast approaching, what better time to shine a spotlight on how the organising team are prioritising movement and exercise to support their mental health? We asked them:
“I have recently re-joined my local Golf Club, a fantastic par 69 course. It is a welcoming club, and a very enjoyable 18 holes to play and walk. I find the challenge of lowering my handicap and competing with other members a great way to unwind, along with a nice pint on the 19th hole to recap."
- Alan Galloway, Head of Sports & Leisure, AIS
“I find the best exercise for me is running. I actually really enjoy getting out in the open and running over nice scenic routes such as Clent Hills and The Malvern Hills as well as other national parks. HITT ( High intensity interval training) works best for me as it really pushes and challenges me I find this type of exercise great for both my physical and mental health."
- Alex Morris, Event Sales & Business Development Manager, AIS
“I am passionate about the outdoors and getting closer to nature and particularly enjoy hiking in the Lake District and the Cotswolds with my family. Getting out and about really helps to re-focus my mind and ease the stresses of daily life, I would thoroughly recommend hiking or trail running.”
- Nina McNamara, Sports & Leisure Retail Operations Manager, AIS
"I exercise several times a week and like to keep fit using my treadmill at home. Exercise is good for the body and the mind, and I feel revitalised afterwards."
- Stephanie Lee, Sports & Leisure Administrator, AIS
