We hear a lot about the benefits of fitness on our mental wellbeing and obviously healthy living and exercise in our daily lives is irrefutably a positive thing. Building patterns of behaviour and a consistent regime can help in this, but we must always remain mindful of how far we go.

This is of particularly concern when using fitness to combat mental health issues, certain levels of fitness and regular participation will help, but as this insightful interview reveals you can go too far. Ultimately fitness should be part of a combined approach to dealing with any issues you have.
