Depression and exercise

Have other people tried physical exercise to help with their depression? I am not always successful in making it a daily habit. Anyone else?

I would like to try a poll...

Yes I find exercise helpful for my depression.
No I did not find exercise helpful for my depression.
I have not tried exercise and do not wish to.
I am interested in trying exercise to see if it helps my depression.

Working out does help. It's not a cure for me by any means, but it helps with the negative thoughts.

Running absolutely helps my depression (and my anxiety). Unfortunately, I'm recovering from a running injury, so... no running and my depression is hitting me hard. Exercise, and especially running, is a main foundation of my treatment plan.

It doesn't work for everyone, but it definitely works for me.

It always helps me. I would say with the bike riding and excessive walking helps me the most. Working out helps me, too, but there are times that it can be stressful doing it.

cardio can help a lot its just hard to get your butt of the couch and do it

agreed!

it does nothing for me but can certainly apreciate how it can help some people
