I exercise a lot, but I don't know how anyone who's depressed can do it. I"m not currently depressed, but have been. My hat's off to anyone who gets out there despite their depression!I do feel worlds better because I exercise, it keeps my head clear, I have more focus, and I'm less restless. Right now my routine is getting to the gym by 6 AM, swimming 60 laps, then biking 10 miles, then at home some weights, and if I can get to it, "run" 30 minutes, and then I usually walk 3-5 miles. It's a lot, but the morning stuff I can get done before anyone wakes up.
Btw, in case anyone thinks I'm a fanatic or a jock, I"m not. I'm overweight despite all that I do, but I feel better and better about myself because of it.
