exercise endorphins

[ex_midnightmo297]

I love exercise, absolutely adore it and do it as much as possible. Lately, however, depression has challenged me in this area but I just want to say if you struggle to get out there for your daily exercise. I went for a run in the fresh air, down by the water, today. It really made the world of difference. I exercise predominately for the physical changes it brings but it really does so much more!

Oh yes - I ran for the first time in 3 months this week, and the high was incredible!

Its more effective than any drugs that are supposed to lighten your mood!

Exercise is brilliant for managing depression and anxiety! I've never had that endorphin high, but it makes such a big difference to move and breathe and feel stronger.

Go you! :D

You are so right. Even though you dont feel the endorphin high I reckon the fact that you notice a difference in your moods means you do get it :)
