Exercise is not only good for the body, its good for the mind. People suffering from depression and/or anxiety in particular seemed to respond well to exercise. Research has shown that 83% of mental ill people found that exercise put them in a better mood. While exercise is not a cure for mental health problems, it certainly can be used to help a person feel better. The obvious reasons a person feels better after exercise is the increase in self-esteem, and better physical health, but the hidden benefit that is just as important is the distraction from life's problems. It's healthy to take that time to just forget about other issues going on and focus on a strong workout. You will probably be able to deal with whatever issues were on your mind a lot easier after a vigorous exercise routine.
Men, we need to especially make sure we are exercising regularly. There are many health risks for being overweight and out of shape. It is imperative that we are doing some sort of exercise to increase our chances of fighting off high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other problems that arise strictly from a poor diet and lack of exercise. Working out also gives you the added bonus of having a better body image. When a person feels good about the way they look, they often feel good about themselves as a person. High self esteem can lead to more healthy and positive thinking.
Exercise has shown to be a valuable tool to enhance mood. It has many benefits from increased self esteem, to increased sexual drive. The health benefits are great and the overall feeling of accomplishment is awesome as well. It is recommended that as adults we get at least 30 minutes of some type of exercise per day, but if you only have 20 minutes make that twenty minutes count. Time will vary for all, but as the Nike slogan goes "Just Do It".
Sorta reminds me of that scene in forrest gump when forest loses his girl to cancer and just starts running accross the country until one day just Stops after he's had enough time to distract him from the pain. But in all serious your right about exercise, it releases all those feel good endorphins in the brain, and the sweating helps the body release those nasty toxins we get from breathing in exhaust and eating foods filled with poisons like aspartame, and high fructose corn syrup. Good post gets me psyched up for the gym.
