I joined the gym last night and sweated for the first time in a LONG LONG time. I loved it, and that "high" stayed with me all the way home, in the shower, cleaning, cooking, sleeping, when I woke up and even now. I am really looking foward to my workout tonight. I couldn't believe what 1 workout would do for me. I just found this article on Yahoo. Does anyone else feel this good after working out?
A single 30-minute walk on a treadmill can give a temporary emotional lift to patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder, the results of a small study suggest.

Researchers found that among 40 men and women recently diagnosed with major depression, those who spent just a half hour on a treadmill reported a short-term improvement in energy and emotional well-being.
Though a single workout is not the answer to clinical depression, the researchers say, exercise could offer depressed patients a way to give themselves an emotional boost.
