- Exercise does not have to be limited to working out at the gym. If you enjoy dancing, do it for 15-to-30 minutes a day as your exercise routine. From running to yard work, any physical activity that causes you to break a sweat helps soothe the symptoms of depression. If it is strenuous on your body to exercise for more than 15 minutes, break up the routine into five-to-ten-minute increments spread throughout the day.
- Setting realistic goals is essential for starting your exercise regimen. If you plan on running, set a goal for ten minutes of running, and gradually increase your time after a few days of the same routine. This method of exercise training is a way of tricking yourself into doing something you'd normally hesitate to do.
- A personal trainer can help you manage your exercise routine by creating a schedule of strength training or aerobic exercises. Along with expert fitness advice, your trainer will give you a firm push in the right direction to follow through on your workout commitment.
