Hi Scott,
For some reason that I'm still trying to figure out, I need sustained, moderately vigorous aerobic exercise in order to achieve an antidepressant effect. Of course, resistance training has numerous other benefits, but I have not found it to change my mood. I wish it would.
I know that moderate walking is an EXCELLENT exercise, but again, it seems to do little for my mood. I need to walk VERY fast or I have to run or swim to get that mood change.
