Recharge your motivation

 #UnpluggedConnectivity 

where blue space and green space become your space

​

The Water Walk Club is a special event combing water and walking activities.

 

One of the best ways to improve motivation, physical and mental health, and overall wellbeing is to get outside. 

 

A landmark study, involving 20,000 participants, found that people who spent a minimum of 120 minutes engaged green or blue exercise (green spaces - parks etc. - or blue spaces - lakes etc.) felt more healthy and had a stronger feeling of wellbeing. Importantly, people who didn't achieve the 120 minutes of green or blue exercise felt no benefit.

The studies “point in one direction: Nature is not only nice to have, but it’s a have-to-have for physical health and cognitive function.” (Jim Robbins, Yale Environment)

 

Blue or green exercise is also known to improve motivation, where you experience a sense of connectedness or belonging to something bigger than yourself. But did you know it can improve your ability to learn?

 

Studies have found that adults who learn outdoors are more engaged and affected by the experience, feel more self-directed and more competent as a result.

 

Now, consider that studies have linked your cognitive performance to exercise. Harvard Business Review, reporting on studies from Stanford University and Leeds Met found that you can expect the following benefits from a programme of regular exercise:

 

• faster learning

• sharper memory

• improved concentration

• prolonged mental stamina

• enhanced creativity

• increased productivity

• smoother interactions with colleagues

• increased energy levels

• better time management

• a feeling of satisfaction at the end of the day - a sense of Good Work
