Are you stressed out often? Do you feel like shit often? Depressed?

Try exercising! They used to prescribe bed rest for those who were stressed or depressed, but nope - not anymore. Exercising of some sort releases endorphins which actually makes you feel better / happier.

I've been an avid weight lifter for a few years now, and I can tell you - the days that I don't lift, I just don't feel as good doing nothing all day.

And when I first started, I found that I was generally more relaxed and happier.

So -- jot this down as just another reason you should get your ass in a gym and start improving your life in all aspects.

Sure you can do anything that raises your heart rate to a significant degree, but resistance training (weight training particularly) will give you the added bonus of a nice muscular physique.

There's a few of us here on GFY who know their stuff, so if you're interested and have any questions regarding nutrition or training - ask and I'm sure you'll get a good response.
