Often, we find this a hard subject to raise, but 4.5 million Australians will experience some form of mental illness in 2011. One of the most common forms of mental illness is depression, and, regular exercise is a proven treatment. People who exercise regularly experience fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety than those who do not.

As part of a fantastic initiative to “get Australia moving” we have chosen to support “Spring,” 30 Days of Feel Good Fitness, launching nationwide Sept 1st 2011.

So, why not put on your Halo Headphones, spring into action, get fit, improve your mood and show your support for this great cause? All you have to do is sign up, do 30 minutes of exercise for 30 days during the month of September and pay just $30 for the Spring online fitness program, personalised to beginners, intermediate or advanced participants.

All money raised will go to the Black Dog Institute to help research and treat depression.

Tell us how exercise lifts your mood, for your chance to win Halo Sport Headphones (worth $54.90).
