When Im depressed, I feel like I don have any energy. How would I be able to keep up an exercise programme?
It is true that starting an exercise programme can be challenging, especially if we feel down, and maybe haven’t done much physical activity for a while. That’s why it’s important to start gently, and to develop a personal programme that is going to be manageable and fun. Staff on exercise referral schemes have been specially trained to help people who may not be ‘superfit’ or ‘athletic’ types – they are able to guide, motivate and support you, and can help you modify the programme if it does not feel right.
