> Hi. I have another question. . .You said that you take a one-hour exercise class that covers all the bases (cardiovascular, weights, etc.). I was wondering how much of that time is devoted to uninterrupted cardiovascular exercise? The reason I ask is that I have found that in order to get a good antidepressant effect, I need an uninterrupted or nearly uninterrupted, moderately vigorous cardiovascular workout. Although I know that weights are good for other things (such as guarding against osteoporosis), and calisthenics help with toning, they don't seem to do much for my mood. I wish that I could benefit more from other types of exercise. It certainly would be more convenient.

Some days we do more cardio stuff, and some days more weights or floor work. I used to swim regularly, and I don't recall it having any affect on my mood either. I used to do about 45-60 min in the water.
