Gyms and mental health: 'I can't wait to be back on the squat rack'
Weight training in the gym was a"turning point" for Hannah Hope.
After treatment, she said working on her physical fitness was the first time she"felt free from everything"."I learned to lift weights. The only thing I could focus on at that moment in time was lifting. I think, 'oh, my body can do this'.""Lifting weights in the gym has made sure that I'm now eating regularly and eating well. And I've realised it's way more important what my body can do rather than how it looks.
And she he has missed it during lockdown."Not being able to walk into a gym, see those faces and train has been difficult. I've had days where I've just stayed in bed and not had the motivation to get up."According to Dr Amit Mistry, there's strong evidence about the benefits of exercise to our mental health.
