If you want the best mood-boosting benefits from your exercise routine, you should aim to burn about 8 calories per pound of body weight per week. Other ways to beat the blues include spending time with supportive people, writing your thoughts in a journal, speaking to a trusted friend or counselor, and exercising regularly. Exercise not only helps boost your mood, but it also strengthens muscles, improves cardiovascular fitness, enhances flexibility, and boosts immune system function.
