    MAPEH has great importance everyday life.

    At the very least, music and arts provide an outlet for


    relaxation. Physical education teaches the importance of keeping the body active and moving, health
    helps to teach one how to stay well and things that they should and should not do to their bodies.

    Times like these can spur intense internal reflection about what is important in life. It also can lead to
    some questioning about whether what we do, whether at home or in the workplace, adds value in our
    community.

    As the executive director of a music-related nonprofit organization, I have thought deeply regarding
    exactly how our mission of cultivating the power of music as an educational, community-building and
    public health tool applies to the COVID-19 crisis at hand. Clearly, while music is very important, an
    argument can be made that compared to the heroic public health workers and organizations that are
    directly addressing life-and-death issues, music’s importance pales.

    As we rise to the challenge of our new normal of life in a global pandemic, we are seeing more clearly
    what needs to change in our pre-COVID-19 society.

    We are still experiencing a global pandemic. We are engaging with racial injustice made more visible
    with George Floyd's death and the recent protests across the globe. In times of crisis, we need
    humanity, expression, and the community that the arts create.

    The benefits of physical activity and exercise have been demonstrated across the lifespan. We are
    meant to move and many of our body’s systems work better when we are consistently physically active.

    For managing symptoms of depression, some research suggests that elevated levels of aerobic activity
    (exercise that significantly raises our heart rates) may be associated with greater reductions in
    depressive symptoms. Consider engaging in physical activity once or twice daily that includes brief
    periods (30-90 seconds) of greater intensity. For some, this might be accomplished through exercise in
    their homes including jumping jacks, mountain climbers, and sequencing strength training exercises
    (standing squats, push-ups, sit-ups). For others, the use of home exercise equipment such as treadmills,
    elliptical machines, and stationary bikes may be helpful.

    The COVID-19 pandemic means that many of us are staying at home and sitting down more than we
    usually do. It’s hard for a lot of us to do the sort of exercise we normally do. It’s even harder for people
    who don’t usually do a lot of physical exercise.

    But at a time like this, it’s very important for people of all ages and abilities to be as active as possible.
    WHO’s Be Active campaign aims to help you do just that - and to have some fun at the same time.
