I do 30 to 50 minutes of cardiovascular (swim, gym machines, run) 4 or 5 times a week. It helps immensely-- I feel less stressed, more in-control when I'm done, and I enjoy the feeling of working my body hard while I'm exercising (most of the time). When I was really depressed and couldn't find the right meds, running for an hour a day was the only thing that gave me any relief-- it only lasted about a half hour after I ran, though.
