Wellbeing

We all know that exercise improves your physical wellbeing. But did you know it helps to improve your mental wellbeing as well? Sport and physical activity can help lift your mood and take away built up stresses. It can also improve sleep, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem.

We care about your wellbeing! We run initiatives throughout the year to help make your time at Leeds Beckett a happy, productive and active one. Being active doesn’t have to mean doing sport or going to the gym. There are lots of ways to be active; find the one that works for you!
