- Everyone knows exercise is good for your health, but new studies show it does more than flatten those abs-- it physically alters your brain to better handle stress! Anthony shows us this hidden, and hugely beneficial impact of working out.

since i started working out a few months ago i have noticed that i have become more successful in all aspects of my life. i would highly recommend everyone watching this video start working out.
k
thxxx thats amazing
Thankyou o special one.
Wow! on 1:30 on. It clarified so much for me. Thank you so much. This was brilliant.
You will know about it if you stop. It is addictive. I suffer badly if I don't get it.
Running helped me with depression
Anthony's telling the truth guys, if you're depressed or have anxiety problems or just worrying about things all the time in general, work out. Even if you have to force yourself to get on a work out schedule it will seriously improve your life pretty quickly. I had depression problems for a while and I've only been working out for three weeks straight and I'm already learning how to take a step back and calm down. It's not as hard as you may think to make a schedule, I workout twice a day on Mon, Tue, Thu, and Fri, (upper body in morning, abs & legs at night) it has seriously given me more energy, better sleep, better mood, and I'm much more enjoyable for others to be around in general. There are too many benefits for you to ignore!
dont forget the not dead at 40 part
Well obviously there are too many benefits to ignore, but it isn't about ignoring them. I've been living with depression for three years and at the end of a school or work day, I'm just too tired. The last thing I can force myself to do is workout. I feel guilty about it but that's what it is. It's not always so easy.
Allyson Rose the reason you are too tired is because you are not excercising. the irony ist hat if you would just excercise youd have the energy.
youre brain chemistry would also change. like im not gonna patronize you it takes a lot of effort but frankly youre just making excuses. whatever shitty thing has been a downer in your life has already happened unless you have a way back machine to undo it you have to move forward or youre just going to lose more time. go out there and do it.
ThePotatocam Couldn't have said it better myself, thanks for that. He's right Allyson, you really just have to put every small piece of effort you have forward to make yourself start working out or exercising, even if you only start out with quick walks or something, it helps tremendously. You'll only have to battle your laziness/tiredness for a short time before you start getting the effects of some fresh air and exercise, then it'll be a breeze to continue it once you get into the habit. It's worth it, there's no reason not to try your best, you're just wasting your time feeling down about everything when you could be much happier in under a month.
I really overthink stuff and then I get anxious and I freak out. So you're telling me that if I start working out I'll feel better? I'll try anything
Being military personnel, exercise is mandatory. I used to be depressed and lethargic but once I started training for the Army, I noticed I became more acclimated to a regular schedule as well as actually having the urge to exercise because it made me feel stimulated, clear-headed, and, most importantly, healthy allowing me more self-worth. It also conditioned me to be used to being active thus making every day tasks not feel so much like an obstacle or a chore but more like an accomplishment.
No wonder Im always happy and rarely get mad anymore ^_^
No it probably is that you work out too much, then you feel weak and tired and you're more likely to be submissive than to be agressive.
Just kidding :)
Martin _ ha ;)

My man Jax again?! 💪💪
Also when you work out endorphins are being released

As a student in highschool I deal with a lot of stresses, whether it be homework, friends, other teenage stuff, but after I stopped being lazy and decided to get in-shape before the track season started I noticed how I mentally and physically reacted to those stresses was altered in a good way like Anthony explained. I find it amazing the difference being active vs lazy can be.
Exercise just makes you feel so good and clears your head in my opinion. Once you start to get a routine of doing it, it doesn't seem like a chore anymore.
I have social anxiety and depression since i was Elementary to highschool. once i started going to college my Classmate invited to join in a Martial arts club i've got interested in it. after a year i have i started to win medals from competitions, started going to gym to improve my body and to add some muscle weight. it makes me comfortable around people and i don't have social anxiety anymore 😉
martin Patootie Did it take you a year to get over SA? I've been working out for a few months and I've noticed it get a bit better, I'm still trying to beat it though thanks
martin Patootie what does social anxiety feel like?
Mrs.sami16@yahoo.com Qwerqwer1 it feels like you’re going to die whenever you’re face a social situation
martin Patootie amazing !!
martin Patootie your grammar is almost as shit as your life
Starting to work out was the best decision I've ever made. I'm a student so at first i avoided it because i felt it was a waste of time, but when i finally started it my grades got better, i got more rejuvenating sleep and overall i just became a better person.
Hope that also happen to me
Same here, I feel much better overall.
Energy always moves. We are energy. So yes. The more you move the more your body changes into a new neurological form. Basically you send out the bad cells faster, (sweat, damaged micro tissues, toxins) allowing your immune system to clean an already picked up living room. Working out allows your immune system to not just function, but thrive in your healing.
In my early sixties started jogging 2 mins a day and noticed a big difference in how I felt mentally!
Hey 6 years later, wondering how you’re doing now!
Zero benefits from 2 minutes of exercise 😂
When I was going to my college gym, I was more mellow and didn't stress out often, feeling more relaxed more often. During my winter break when there were no classes, I became more anxious and would have outbursts from stress that really wasn't there. I just kept feeling that I wanted to run and just keep running. Or punch a bag or jump rope forever. I have finally restarted classes at the gym and I can tell you, I am much more relaxed. I went shopping with my brother today, who is utterly obnoxious, doesn't listen, and all around has a rotten attitude. I didn't even yell at him, even while he was demanding things and being a pain. It's rather amazing.
***** Oh hellz yea bro.
Exercise helped me definitely with depression and anxiety.
makes so much sense. i have really bad anxiety attacks & i started exercising & the anxiety pretty much went away. then i stopped working out for a month & my anxiety came back. now im working out again & im noticing the difference
In my opinion there is no downside to any physical exercise, whether it be weight training, running, yoga, rowing, football, sprinting, jumping, qigong, karate, stretching, walking, etc. There is something for everyone and the only mistake you can really make is overdoing it. Life is better when you are fit.
How on Earth could somebody think there is a DOWNSIDE to physical exercise? Please tell me who said this, I need to send them a very strongly worded email haha.
Exercise has been the best thing I have done for me in my life. It helps keep my ADHD in check and I feel less stressed.
I've suffered from anxiety most of my life and noticed a huge difference in my ability to cope when I exercise regularly.
Yes!!! Physical activity and change in diet has given me relief from my chronic depression and anxiety attacks from little things... gosh it's just a relief and I can sigh with happiness instead of sadness all the freaking time. My suicidal thoughts are almost gone since my three week diet and exercise change.. I've been working out all day long, this means I have no job. But man does it help so so much. I even feel good enough to go up and talk to strangers, which is huge for me. Im so relaxed when sleeping now too and not stressed about needing to go to bed because I stayed up all night watching CZcams. Lol ironic. ^^ thank you me.. for making me better. Lol
Thank you. This giving me hope :) just started my jogging today
How u did it? Please guide. My email is raheeljaved2017@gmail.com. need help
it's so noticeable. when i workout with consistency, i just don't feel stress. 3 x per week for 2 weeks and nothing could get to me.
Danny Rosenberg same it chills me tf out feel like I can fuck every girl in the room
Stephen Lugo litttttttttt
If what you say is true, then why do many school systems in the United States take physical education out of their curriculum. Are they trying to create a generation of anxious citizens? Is this why so many kids have "ADHD"?
An overweight, anxious, depressed community...a pharmaceutical company's dream!
Because the schools don't get recognized under whatever the hot program (No Child Left Behind, Common Core, etc) for having fit kids. It is very short-sighted, though - there's a book called "Spark" that has some data on what happened when they introduced a fitness program in some schools. I think it's up to parents now - maybe that will be more motivation for the moms and dads to get up and get out there with their kids!
Amen my friend!!!!!
Bingo!
Garrison Ladson they try to incorporate it but they don't know shit about fitness and that 1 gym class a week isn't enough to be stress free.
Nicholas Carrico in the U.K. I have Atleast 4 classes in 2 weeks then we have extra curricular sport activities
I definitely notice reduced anxiety with working out (heck, even just taking a walk) - as long as you're not compulsively overexercising! And I don't know if it's science, but I feel like working out more, even just running, helps me be more balanced physically and improves my hand-eye coordination.
I recently joined the rugby team at my school. It worked me out so much I felt sick after practice. Now a week later, and a couple more practices, I feel happy, chill, and virtually everything in my life has improved.
I don't feel tired when I go for a fast walk or do strength training. I feel more energized, and also peaceful and high. And I wake up the next morning with more energy and I feel calm and happier throughout the entire day after I exercise.
I had ocd and was seeing a therapist but when I started playing basketball I became obsessed with that and started not having spontaneous thoughts that would keep me up all night
I've also suffered from intense anxiety and I've discovered that fast walking for about 30 mins everyday reduces my anxiety and leaves me feeling much better. If you fast walk for 60 mins the effect is even more powerful. For you I would recommend 60 minutes every single day and falling asleep before 10 pm at night. Preferably before 9pm. That combination has a powerful effect. Make sure you are eating large amounts of fruits and vegetables. Meditation is also very powerful. Combine all of those
I'm a typical go-to-work kind of guy, I found myself stressing over little things. Now that I have a workout schedule I feel more , confident, strong , and I don't let coworkers get to me asmuch. So everything you just said pretty much was spot on. I also learned that people will also hate that your doing good. when all they needed was a workout. lol
It definitely helps. The time I was the happiest was when I lived on campus near the gym with illimited access. Having stopped exercising for several months now, I can totally feel my anxiety rising again. (Time to get back to it, I guess!)
true especially with combat sports. After years of sparring and real altercations Ive gotten used to stress and it honestly takes a lot to make me anxious
watching this right after i had run 3.5km and i can confirm you feel so much better,if you have a shitty depressing day just go ahead and run,you will feel way better.(yeah the running part sux but the feeling you get after it,it's awesome :D )
I've noticed that around the 40-50 minute point on a fast walk is when I feel very calm and peaceful. As well as a strong sense of well-being throughout my body. Also more energized. I need to walk every day because if I miss a day I don't feel the same.
Exercise? I thought you said extra fries!
noah smith lol
noah smith so me
😂😂😂
I remember times when I was dead tired at the end of the day but I still went swimming. I was swimming three times per week and I remember after four months I didn`t feel so tired at the end of the day any more. Now I do pilates because of my beck and I am not willing to give up on this time. This is my time and no one will take it from me. I feel good when I am fit.
I've been working out 4-5 days a week for about three months now. Honestly I have to say that I am in more pain, more agony, and more stress than I was beforehand. My trainer had me do a plank for a minute and thirty seconds, and in the middle of it, I started crying. Mentally speaking, exercise doesn't make me feel better... I sleep worse, I feel worse, and for what? Back pain and miserable sleepy days at work? I'm still holding on there, thinking any of these days the switch will happen from depressed to happy... but it's starting to get to me emotionally.
yes hold in there. I went from pretty out of shape to being more fit and it was really hard and uncomfortable at first, but then you get to enjoy it, almost like an acquired taste for it.
dont give up!
it sounds like you're overtraining imo 4-5 is a lot for a beginner and the back pain is probably from a muscle imbalance tone it down to 3 days a week work on mobility and you shouldnt feel beat up after a workout
Wussy
Gina Delgado many times people don't sleep properly, you have to give up cellphone, tablet and PC at nights, and turn off all the lights in your room. At least sleep 7 hours.
I have bad anxeity and I dont excersis at all
I'm a start running daily see how this works out
Best wishes! It helps when it's done consistently and moderately.
How'd it go? Do you feel better?
My activity levels fluctuate, I find when I am more active I tend to resolve stressful situations faster and more effectivly, so my guess is artificial stress from exercise reduces the impact of day to day stress allowing your brain to 'take a walk through the park' rather than 'jump into the bull pit'...
Love this video. I'd love to share it in my community if that's okay? Exercise Out Of Depression is a community forum that supports and helps people start getting active. It's a place where they can talk about their mental health, too! EOOD promotes the importance of exercise to not only your physical health, but your psychological well being, too.

I looked this up because , this morning I woke up stressed, depressed and my anxiety was acting up like I was having a mental break down at 4 am...so I told my self "let's try the gym,...they say it can help..." so I went and worked out for an hour(had to come home so my husband can get to work) and I feel so relaxed and happy again I'm not stressing or having break downs
Same here . I’m feeling the same way . How are you now ?
Man I try and keep up regular exercise and fitness and sometimes Ill mange for a week or 5 but then I will just miss a day or two and that will turn into 4 days 9 days a month 3 months etc.
+Dovahkiin I'm actually on a little 3months break.
+Zach Rachedi I'm on a 3 year break.
***** Mmm, don't want to be condescending but have you heard of reversibility? If you leave exercise for a while then you can loose your strength/fitness. That is why they say constant exercise.
Ramiro Gonzalez xD, same man.
Dovahkiin Yeah I'm aware of that fact dude.. and it really sucks cause we can't always keep up the rhythm due to tiredness and the lack of free time from College and work :/
Anyways, you and Ramiro Gonzalez shouldn't let too much time pass or you'll forget what "workout" is xD
I'm sure that will help you. Meditation requires great consistency to get the most out of it. 20 mins in the morning and 20 mins at night is a good start. Mindfulness and meditation are in essence the same thing, but they take different forms. Jon Kabat-Zinn, an expert on mindfulness, has several videos here on CZcams explaining mindfulness. I recommend both meditation and mindfulness because they help to heal the underlying causes of anxiety. Prescribed medication can also help tremendously.

When work, school, and home weren’t all the same place lol
I think anxiety happens when your inactive in one position for a extended amount of time due to the blood not pumping to every cell in your body for the duration of the inactive cycle
I remember how when I was still taking driving classes, I could easily get stressed when having to perform certain actions or maneuvers, which would make me drive very badly and with low confidence. Also, when me driving instructor mentioned words like "''Let's pretend that today would be your exam'', I would suddenly start driving much worse than before. One day I went and did plenty of sports before my class, I went running, drove my bike and got home rather tired. Then, during my class I felt so calm and above all, focused. That day it went really well and saw such big improvements in my driving skills. So when I finally had my actual driving exam, right before it I decided to do lots of sports too and even arrived home pretty late and still continued sweating after preparing myself to get in the car, but I was okay with it. In the end, I felt very relaxed and believe that doing sports has helped me so much to get through the exam, especially since I had always gotten nervous before I KNEW that I also be nervous when the time came for my exam.
Anyone who has anxiety and needs someone to talk to Im willing to help as much as I can!
I run cross country and I do feel that it helps me stress less because it gives me something to put all my focus on
I wish some of my friends would watch this video and learn from it. But they're so lazy they probably won't even watch the video if I sent it to them.
The struggle. #myjihad
Ermahgerd it's the derpdevil.
Today I started a fitness program. I experienced that when I did sport I felt myself better in life.
Yes. Less thoughts usually equals more peace unless your thinking thoughts that make you feel peaceful. Silence and quiet in a mind produces greater peace and calmness which is why people exercise and meditate.
Anytime I'd push myself within the limits of what I can accomplish in the gym, (Aerobic more so than Anaerobic, mind you) I attained a vast amount of mental clarity, I would get urges to think about memories and relive them in those moments, as well as the derivation of theories regarding futuristic possibilities. There is no excuse that should allow you to avoid building or sustaining a healthy body, even if you are limited to a little or almost no way to commit yourself. There is always a way.
So That's why, I have been less stressed after I have been working out for a while :O and I have been happier with a diet, after a while...
If I workout, I find it no trouble sticking to a healthy diet, almost like my body wants those healthy foods instead of junk foods and sweets.
I'm straight and I was even thinking about how incredibly dashing Anthony was looking in this video as well.
This is 100% true. If I don’t exercise every other day, then I become a very miserable human being. Anxiety, worrying, depression, and anger increases very badly. The only way I can escape from those emotions is by exercising.
I joined a gym last month and I've never felt better.
I bought a cheap but durable spinbike and treadmill off of Amazon for my bedroom and I go at it 2x a day (or atleast try most days). It took 2 weeks to get a routine down consistantly. The only big issue has been managing muscle fatigue. I'd encourage anyone to also get a HR watch like fitbit which almost forces you to be more concious of your level of daily activity.
yea.. that's so true tbh. im quite depressed (on antidepressants) and alcohol is my only way out when im stressed out.. but once i started workin out (quite intense 30mins on a spin bike everyday) i started to feel alot better. didnt want alcohol anymore. didnt really needed it at the first place cuz stress was almost gone. tho... other problem is keeping up with that schedule. everyday 30mins of intense cardio.. u get kinda tired and bit lazy after 2months or so. so that's my problem now. to keep constistency. tho i guess everyday isnt neccessary. i guess ppl could do like from monday to friday and then 2 days free. give me some tips how to find motivation for everyday cardio ^^ hardest thing is to make yourself commit to it after u get back from work. on work days its hella hard to find strength for those 30mins. on a weekend its a breeze tho.
Dave Dom *Try outdoor cycling dude. Trust me, it's better.*
Being fit translates into every sphere of life, especially for men.
I was forced into a long recovery when I had an open foot fracture, my muscles atrophied and I went from an athletic tall guy, to a skinny corpse like husk to the point that old friends I havent seen in years thought i was on heroin, it sucked, i was stuck doing a dead end job , and while I was surrounded by my closest and best friends I simply wasn't happy.
About 4 years ago I took a plunge, moved cities, got away from it all, I started excercising again, eating right , got into martial arts again. I am once again strong, fast and Feel good about myself. I am working a job a love with a promotion down the line. I am more confident, have waaay better success with dating/women.....
It's all due to the buzz, the amount of confidence you don't even realize you gain. By pushing out that extra set every other week, by getting a punch combo right that a month ago was impossible, the amazing thing about training is that if you even take an hour out of your day to do it you take a boring old day that otherwise nothing would have happened in, into a million little wins
This explains why I feel great most of the time. I can walk for over two hours straight.
Mike stone for yourself and your family please make sure you bring down your cholesterol level.
im a bodybuilder, 3-4 1 hour sessions per week of lifting and 4-6 sessions of 30 minutes of cardio. ive been training for 5 years now. i suffer from terrible anxiety brought on mostly by unknown things, recreational drugs dont make me high just panic including caffeine, even alcohol can have this effect. ive had periods of low to no exercise and periods of super intense exercise and my anxiety has not followed any pattern to this. foods such as lamb can give me anxieties.
Inactivity causes weakness,obesity,high blood pressure, as well as aggregate cancer and many other health problems. Even some study's show that being inactive for long periods of time while having exercise done regularly won't benefit you if you work out for a while then go back to being inactive again. As you need blood circulating to be transferring nutrients for the whole day and during night have a good rest of up to 8 hours.
Ever since I've joined cross country my anxiety attacks have greatly lessened.
This definitely describes me, I walk a lot and occasionally have to run for the bus however I don't really have a proper exercise program. I also do feel stress easily, I would love it if you guys could do a video on which exercises are better.
Agree with A Baker. I work out 5-6/week myself and I'm still, easily stressed out by even the simplest things. And I can't fall asleep as easily as I used to.
Ex helps a lot i was stressed so i ran for almost an hr now i feel better and im able to handle stress better
It's what helped me through boot camp.
usually after a really demanding workout i feel as if I'm reborn and just free. i don't even really care about my problems anymore. not sure if it's just me or others feel this way as well...
I'm not in great shape currently, when I was in better shape I was way less stressed. However they both could be results of other things in my life.
I’m fat. And recently I got really tired of being fat and started actually dieting and exercising and you know what, I am quite an anxious person. I feel the need to use the restroom when I am about to fight a boss in a game but lately, I’ve been noticeably more chill.
From my experience exercising regularly has seemed to improve my emotion regulation. I'm usually a very anxious person but I think I spent the extra energy that could've been used to be anxious when exercising. I was a little more open with my anger as well (usually I'm pretty passive aggressive) so that didn't completely match up, but maybe it was because of higher exhaustion? Also, I did expect my emotion regulation to improve though since I already learned about its correlation with exercise so that probably influenced me as well.
this month i've had a lot of stressors and problems holding my temper compared to normal. i almost yelled at someone recently.
the past 2 weeks i've spent about 5 to 15 minutes every other day doing some medium to high intensity stretch/karate style punches and lunges with 3lb weights in each hand.
and it's starting to help quite a bit.
i'm enjoying some of my foods more, i'm eating healthier(just haven't been craving as much junk food for some reason) and i'm laughing more again.
ya, definately overstress when I'm un-fit it's as though my mind tires to compensate for the lack muscle in a certain area, It seems to me that there are certain parts of the brain for certain muscles and when those muscles aren't activated, then the burden is transferred to another part of the brain which is probably the problem solving part of the brain? It sort of puts me in continuous problem solving mode and keeps me feeling uncomfortable mentally- continued mental fog perhaps, it's like not present and don't get as much done and even don't handle well- i.e by getting the urge to exercise. But things are changing. Thanks for sharing! You're a champ!
I run 4+ miles everyday and I really don't get stressed at anything. Part of it is my I can careless personality.
I don't exercise hardly ever and I do deal with depression and anxiety. I know I should exercise more but I guess I just don't have much motivation to do so.
*****
Well, I am definitely not going to be joining a gym. I'm on disability and can't afford a gym membership. I might be able to get one of those scholarship things for YMCA where I could join for free or low cost though.
*****
Well, I've already been diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency.
*****
I'm supposed to take 50,000 IU per week.
*****
Thanks I appreciate the offer.
The biggest exercise you can do is praticing to do something even if not motivated. The motivation will come sooner or later. Its not about wanting its about doing it or not doing it.
yup i work out almost everyday and feel happy go lucky all the time
I run 12-15 miles a week. I am legitimately addicted to it. Running promotes relaxation and better quality sleep, decreases anxiety, helps me think clearer, and obviously is a great way to burn calories. They do not call it the runner's high for no good reason, as the brain secretes endocannabinoids, similar to THC in marijuana when you run. If you are new to it than start slow, but once you live as a runner it really becomes a lifestyle.
I deffinately feel more up beat, happy i laugh more i get silly during the rest of the day after an intense work out and for someone that does experience depression its an amazing drug free tool that everyone should utilize...
Honestly I have been doing more exercise lately and I feel great maybe even enough to compare it to enlightenment. I would so recommend it.
Yo GABA GABA. I swim somewhat often and ride my bike a lot, and I find that when I do, I have less random thoughts bouncing around in my head. I actually have ADHD and I have issues with my senses feeling like they are in overdrive, swimming always calms down those over active senses. It's cool to be able to confirm my thoughts on exercise and stress, thanks!
this works for my depression thank you
Whenever i am stressed i solve Calculus problems.
Bruh that's such a relief,I was waiting for someone to drop a comment like this.
I know you have short videos, but are you able to release a more detailed video of this topic? I find it really interesting
Dnews should do a video on what they think of energy drinks.
yup i can attest to this. Exercise somehow reduce the stress from daily life. Nothing changes, except the way i look at same stress in different ways after a workout.
Usually I don't like this type of explanation. Because of too many technical term or reasons or phenomenon. I prefer to know what are the positive results and what should we do to better use exercise, these types of explanations.
the only thing that im not doing that you have suggested is meditation which i have been thinking about for a while now and i think its time to try it out.
I have pretty bad anxiety and since joining the gym last month i've been feeling a lot better!
...apart from the achines and stuff, but yeah overall i've been feeling better about myself.
I started working out regularly because of an anxiety issue...anxiety is still a problem for me sometimes, but I'm so much calmer these days than I was two years ago. So I guess it worked?
After 2 months for good work out, I felt nothing can scare me, I was also becoming very confident (me being a shy person)
Get it done!
It (exercise) does give me anxiety. I have anxiety going into the exercise, and then I leave depressed even if I met all my exercise goals for the day.
I have so much anxiety before i workout. But i love doing it
I guess that's why I always have the urge to do push-ups when I get pissed off. Seriously, though, it calms me down.
when ever i don't go to the gym for a couple of days i start to get real irritable and i get really anxious now i know why
great video, i find that nothing can motivate me to exercise since i dont want to lose weight or build muscle, this video helped me a lot. i just finished a work out and i already feel better that i did before. thank you :)
i do kickboxing/mma one or twice a week, and im nearly always walking, running or cycling every day to meet friend, but i still get stressed really easily...
One thing I definitely noticed is that when I am active every single day, colds and runny noses are nearly completely absent. So if you are someone who is always getting a cold, be up and about every single day :)
This lockdown is killing me . This has badly affected my mental health but i do try to do home exercises. Praying that covid ends soon n gym n park may reopen !
Try not to over think and over analyze everything. It will probably reduce your happiness. Instead of looking for things to criticize, go out and get some exercise! Happy people don't post the kind of comment you did. They have better things to do than be judgmental and critical. Think about things you love and appreciate and you'll be far better for it.
That opening line really got me xD
This is very helpful, thank you Mr. CZcams man!
When i ran half marathons I felt amazing.
This is really interesting, but seems a bit flimsy. I want more research!!
Though, I actually started exercising to reduce anxiety. It helps a lot.. but only on days that I work out. That doesn't mean I'm not in shape on the other days..
I believe some studies have shown the more regularly someone exercises the better their emotion regulation (ER) overall. I think "regular" exercise might differ from study to study though. To me, regular exercise would be roughly 4 days a week for at least an hour and you may need to do this for month(s) before the ER is at its best. I'm just a random youtuber though so please don't take this too seriously. Just wanted to share my thoughts.
