In addition to helping you improve your physique, regular exercise has many beneficial effects on your mental health. Depression can be warded off sometimes simply by maintaining an exercise routine. The United States Government has even stated that, quote, "We now have evidence to support the claim that exercise is related to positive mental health as indicated by relief in symptoms of depression and anxiety." A test performed by researchers at Duke University found that people with cases of depression that began an exercise regimen 3 times a week overcame their depression with no anti-depressants at a rate of 60 percent! That research is proof positive that in addition to the physical benefits of exercise, there is a strong mental benefit. If you are just beginning a workout regimen, it may be a good idea to check in with your doctor for a physical. A simple physical can help you to ensure that you're getting the proper program started for your body.
