The best part of this video starts about halfway through.

Dr. Mercola and Robert Whitaker talk about how exercise affects depression.

The ideal thing is to exercise in a social setting. Being with other people can help you stick with it.

Being outdoors is great too. Hiking on a nature trail, or even volunteering for some trail maintenance is a great way  to get some movement, fresh air, sunshine and social interaction.

Check out the video to find out which doctors around the world are actually prescribing exercise for their depressed patients and some of the results they are getting.  You may find the study done with exercise, exercise plus drugs and drugs alone very interesting.

This morning I went down to the local Y and did the hip-hop hustle class. It was a bunch of fun, and I got to meet some new people who are fitness minded.  Tomorrow I will hit the nature park.

I realize this is part 2 of a 7 part series. If you like to hear the rest, let me know in the comment box below. If there is enough interest, I will post more. Thanks for reading and watching today.
