Why Group Exercise Is So Good For Your
Health health.com
Exercise is great for mental health;
Research has shown that it can lower stress, improve mood and even decrease
symptoms of depression and anxiety. But new research finds that a group
exercise class may be even better for your mental wellbeing than a solo sweat
session.
A small study published in the Journal of
the American Osteopathic Association found that people who took group exercise
classes reported less stress and more physical, emotional and mental health
benefits than those who exercised alone or did not hit the gym at all,
suggesting that a social atmosphere may compound the already numerous benefits
of physical activity.
At the University of New England College of
Osteopathic Medicine, 69 people in their first or second year of medical
school—typically a very stressful time—were recruited for the study. One group
of students did at least one 30-minute core training class together each week;
another exercised alone or with one or two other people at least twice a week;
and a third didn't engage in any physical activity beyond walking or biking for
transportation. Students were allowed to choose their own group.
The students took surveys about their
stress levels every four weeks and periodically filled out additional surveys
about their physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. After 12 weeks, the
researchers determined that those taking the group core training class were
seeing the best results.
The study has some limitations. It's
possible that people who chose the core training group already knew they liked
group exercise, and thus saw benefits. But the research suggests that the
virtues of fitness classes go far beyond working up a sweat. In addition to a
community vibe, the researchers note that the music and choreography used in
group classes may boost mood.
All the more reason to hit that barre
exercise class after work.

Which is the world's kindest country?

It's World Kindness Day! Introduced in 1998, it is a celebration of kindness in all its forms. How can you contribute? "Make a vegetable patch and grow your own produce," says the Kindness Day UK website. "Say good morning to everyone on your way into work, bring in treats for your colleagues, or leave a pile of pennies by a fountain for passers by to make a wish."
Kindness can sometimes feel lacking in Britain, particularly in the capital, and no doubt many reading the above suggestions will be doing so with smirking cynicism. But the UK is actually one of the world's most generous countries, according to Charities Aid Foundation's 2017 World Giving Index.
Billed as "the world's leading study of generosity", the index rates 140 countries in three categories: helping a stranger, donating money, and volunteering time. The UK's overall rating of 50 is good enough for 11th place.
"The high scores are likely to be a result of Theravada Buddhism practiced by a large proportion of the population in Myanmar, whereby followers donate to support those living a monastic lifestyle – a practice known as Sangha Dana," the report states.
Ireland made the top 10, as did New Zealand, the US and Canada, but scores fell in every Western country compared with 2016. An average of 1,000 people were questioned in each country to produce the report.
