Exercise

The importance of exercise stems far beyond being physically fit; exercise also helps encourage physical preparedness for situations, such as crowd management and policing in mass demonstrations and protests. Staying physically fit aids in protecting you from injury, improving flexibility and balance, and increasing endurance levels.36 Additionally, maintaining regular exercise programs can help reduce stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. All of these outcomes can only serve to better prepare you for dealing with the chaos and exhaustion that can come with policing in mass demonstrations.
