The document discusses how exercise can help alleviate depression through various mechanisms in the brain and body. It notes that putting one foot in front of the other to begin exercising is an important first step, as it can become easier to continue. Various experts are cited discussing how physical activity influences the endocrine system and hormones to positively impact mood, and randomized studies have shown exercise can be as effective as antidepressants for depression. The Eustress kit is introduced as a way to trigger feel-good endorphins and motivate people to exercise through fun and breaking up sedentary routines.

There is a physical relationship between what the mind is thinking and
those sections of the brain that maintain bodily activities. You don't have
to become a gym member to do exercise ,
The brain precisely communicates with the endocrine system. This
system secretes hormones or chemicals that can have powerful effects
on emotional health.
“Thoughts and feelings that generate within the mind can influence the
outpouring of hormones from the endocrine system, which in effect
controls much of what transpires within the body,”
 Dr. Charles Goodstein, MD,
clinical professor of psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine

 Some researchers suspect exercise alleviates
chronic depression by increasing serotonin
(the neurotransmitter targeted by antidepressants) or
brain-derived neurotrophic factor,
(which supports the growth of neurons).
 Another theory suggests exercise helps by
normalizing sleep, which is known to have protective
effects on the brain.

It's likely that multiple factors are at play.
"Exercise has such broad effects that my
guess is that there are going to be multiple
mechanisms at multiple levels,"

It's also unclear exactly how moving your muscles
can have such a significant effect on mental health.
"Biochemically, there are many things that can impact
mood. There are so many good, open questions about
which mechanisms contribute the most to changes in
depression,“
- Mary de Groot, PhD, psychologist

7. The evidence comes from experimental studies as well. Blumenthal
has explored the mood-exercise connection through a series of
randomized controlled trials.
In one such study, he and his colleagues assigned sedentary adults
with major depressive disorder to one of four groups:
supervised exercise, home-based exercise, antidepressant therapy or
a placebo pill.
After four months of treatment, Blumenthal found, patients in the
exercise and antidepressant groups had higher rates of remission than
did the patients on the placebo.
Exercise, he concluded, was generally comparable to antidepressants
for patients with major depressive disorder (Psychosomatic Medicine,
2007)
