comfortably andenjoyably so that it doesn’t hurt, so that you can look forward
to it, and feel good afterwards. Ifyou are feeling down, exercise may help pick
you up. Although researchers disagree on thisissue, one review of past studies

strenuous training sessions, has about as much of an effect on depression
aspsychotherapy.

area of life —possiblybecause exercise is a form of stress itself and helps
condition your body to deal with it.WhenAustralian researchers compared people
who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times aweek to those who practiced
progressive relaxation techniques, they found that the formergroup responded
better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure. Even a little exercisecan
make you think less anxiously. Studies have shown that any amount of exercise,
from abrisk10 minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems
to decrease feelingsof anxiety.

to improve the quality and duration of sleep. Naturally, this canmake you less
fatigued and be able to function better during the day. Like meditation, hobbies
or any other leisure activity, exercise gives your mind a needed break from
everydaythoughts, responsibilities and commitments. Finally, there’s one more
reason to keepexercising. When you work out regularly, your body simply
