| dc.description.abstract |
Clients with severe mental illness benefit from a regular fitness routine. Individuals that live with severe mental illness can reduce symptoms, improve overall health, and increase self-esteem through a fitness regimen. Although mental health clients understand the benefits of exercise, these individuals are often unable to participate in regular fitness activities while residing in mental health facilities. Mental health practitioners can help clients benefit from a consistent exercise program by encouraging daily physical activities and including them in the clients’ treatment plan. The qualitative results of a client questionnaire confirmed that mental health clients try to stay active. Participants also understood that they benefit from exercise and were willing to incorporate a fitness routine into their daily lives. |
