TUCSON, Ariz. — Studies from the American Psychological Association show that mental health has dramatically worsened among adults since the pandemic began, with 53% of Americans have been less physically active than they wanted to during the same timeframe as well.
These findings make it even more imperative to stay active and make your health a priority right now.
In light of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, Planet Fitness’ Head of Health and Fitness Excellence Teddy Savage is here to share how we can improve our mental and physical wellness to lead a healthier and more balanced life.
