This week we're talking about exercise. Are you sick of people telling you to get fit for your mental health? We hear ya! We are talking about how exercise is unique to each person, and try out some yoga and running to explore exactly how it makes us feel. Complete with an out of breath Fi who went a run in the name of research. Amy hits out with some amazing statistics about how exercise can have the same effect as drugs such as morphine.
