Does Exercise really help you??

I read articles that suggest jogging helps, I was wondering if this has helped anyone?? 

Hi Desiree, exercise is proven to help anxiety and depression, unfortunately for me I've never been one for exercise apart when I'm drumming in a band and get a decent workout with that but I've never been a jogger, runner or a person that goes yo the gym. Might be time for me to do something about it, I know a boxing club run by some friends of mine who would let me use the facilities for free, just need the motivation.

Yeah thats how I feel, but at this point Im willing to try anything to help me out ... SO I might have to put on my running shoes and try to make it to the end of the block Lol

Consistent exercise did wonders for my anxiety. It's a really good way to get rid of stress and pent up energy that anxiety tends to give me. It also helped me in that I lost weight and looked better all around. It makes you healthier too especially if you eat better as well which also helps anxiety.

it absolutely does.  at one point i relied on it heavily to sleep well at night.  i'd jog in the evening obviously then would typically fall asleep easily and would sleep well.  i still do it to this day and did notice i felt worse or didn't deal with anxiety as well when not jogging or exercising.  it's a great stress outlet for sure.

Yah I found it sorta took my mind off things, it's not for everyone though....
