the benefits of exercise

yes, i know everyone is aware of the benefits of exercise in regards to healthy lifestyle. but did you know that exercise can improve a person's depression? if the depression is very minor, with prolonged exercise the depression can be eradicated! that's pretty impressive, i think. so, when i stopped exercising for 2 weeks i started to become withdrawn again. when i started by exercise routine again post thanksgiving holiday, my endorphins kicked the withdrawn behavior right out the window. mental note: must remain the treadmill's good friend!
