My mood definitely got better with activity too. It’s a plus that they are so great with my deafness. Doesn’t bother them at all. They just make sure to face me, it’s not always possible in fitness class but they do a great job. I’m really looking forward to it.

My therapist talks a lot about Body Activation techniques. Essentially, doing something (taking a shower, going for a walk etc.) that forces you up and to move in some way and that is supposed to really help with mood. It doesnt have to be a fitness routine or workout, but I think doing the fitness classes takes that a step up and definitely adds to the boost you'd probably get from it! Just wanted to share that there is some science behind movement and emotional well-being. You're inspiring me to try to be a bit more active and tone up too!
