In partnership with Move Imperial, we are running a Stress Less campaign to help you unwind and de-stress this exam season!

Studying for and sitting exams can be a stressful time, however, regular short bursts of exercise can go a long way to improve mood, aid better sleep and reduce stress. Any type of physical activity will have a positive impact on your mood and wellbeing. It doesn’t have to be very intense or time-consuming, even a short walk in between study blocks will help, and walking can be a great form of moving meditation.
