Exercise and mood


13 years ago 0 4027 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Exercise levels my mood.  I've used it to take the edge off of getting unpleasant tasks done.   It's hard shaking the traditional marketed need to be part of a gym, although I am.  Activity can take place anywhere as you've mentioned, doing chores, etc.
Blending activity into my day has been my goal, and I've been successful. lowering weight, blood pressure, and the medicine dose, rest heart rate.

Red,
 
This is so true!
 
That added energy does wonders for movement and relaxation!
 
I actually love cleaning the house, with music on, when no one is home!
 
You can actually break out in dance and no one will be the wiser!
 
Who's next?

I find that exercise helps me relax and improves my mood when I am feeling depressed or am having a lot of anxiety..Getting out and walking or swimming really helps me a lot. Walking is really my personal favorite...Rain or shine..
 
I was wondering if exercise helps anyone else here ? and if so what is your favorite form of exercise?
