Studies indicate that exercise clearly benefits those who are depressed. I know, you are already asking yourself: Where will I get the energy? Its just one of those unexplainable phenomena, you move and it moves you to a better place. Exercise and depression research shows almost anybody can benefit from exercise. Studies have shown it works with children, university students, women and the elderly (all among the toughest cases to solve).
The benefits which were experienced by the participants in these exercise and depression studies included...
• increased positive mood
• decreased negative mood
• improved vigor
• less anxiety
• less depression
• less anger
• less fatigue
• less confusion
• less stress
• improved motivation
• improved self-esteem
• less cynical distrust
• increased feelings of coherence
• increased feelings of social integration
• improved mental functioning
So try! Get moving- even just a little and you will find things a bit brighter, a bit more hopeful and a bit more doable. So walk your way out of depression!
