So not likely to see this one then? Did you use your squat rack in the last 24 hours? No: Go do some lifting. (That's a sure fire way to lift my spirits.)

- RandomNick 5y agoI wish I could upvote this more than once. For me nothing else I have ever found is nearly as effective as lifting.
- blueflow 5y agoThe zyzz way out of depression!
- sundvor 5y agoAbsolutely. For me the mental health benefits almost outweigh (sorry) the physical ones - however of course it also demonstrates just how connected the two are. On top of that my thinking is so much clearer too; it doesn't even have to be a big session for this to take effect, so I often sneak a quick one in if I have two meetings with only a small gap.
- pseudalopex 5y agoExercise is recommended in the mental health part.
- sundvor 5y agoExercise is such a wonderfully vague term. For example I get nowhere the same effect from 10 minutes of walking as I do 10 minutes of squats - perhaps lights for reps superset with shoulder presses, very short breaks.
- pseudalopex 5y agoYou're free to do squats. Any exercise has benefits though. Walking is something almost anyone can do anywhere without special equipment. And most people can spare more than 10 minutes.
