Team Monocle Data Update

Team Monocle are busy completing their sessions, sometimes twice each day, fitting them in before and after work, and during lunch breaks.

On average the team experiences a mood boost of 39% 2 hours following a training session.

Given that training can be difficult, and everyone has off days, it really does speak to the innate value of exercise as a mood booster that the team has so far reported positive effects in mood 92% of the time.

We asked the team, what’s your own personal tip to feel better after a hard day?

Adelaine:

"’Sports and connection’ - Play a game of sports; whether it's basketball or netball, then treat myself and my partner to a beautifully home cooked meal connecting through conversation.”

Damien:

“Do something you enjoy, which can change your focus and help you unwind. If your job entails being stationary for most of the day, I would suggest doing something which involves moving your body.”

Lesley:

“It depends on the day! I recommend either smashing out the excess energy in a cardio based group exercise class or finding the zen in a yoga class.

If none of that works there is always UberEats and a good TV sitcom!!”

A key part of resilience includes self-care, because life is not a sprint, but more like a long distance marathon. In sharing these self-care tips from seasoned exercisers, we hope to demonstrate that physical activity as a mood booster is most effective in the long run if you also give yourself permission to have a good time.
