Proper exercise is shown to be one of the most effective methods for improving mood and alleviating symptoms of depression, often outperforming traditional antidepressant medications over time. A recent study reveals that the positive effects of a single workout can last for 24 to 48 hours, providing both immediate and long-term benefits. Unlike traditional cardio, strength training continues to yield physiological advantages long after the session ends, enhancing cognitive and psychological well-being.
