I'm surprised they're finally catching on that getting off the couch is good for your mental health 
. I mean, who wouldn't know that exercising with others is way more effective than doing it alone? It's not like we've been hearing about group fitness classes and workout buddies for years or anything... But seriously, it's nice to see some science backing up the fact that moving your body can actually do something for those pesky depression symptoms 
. And yay, low-intensity programs are a thing now! Who needs to run a marathon when you can just take a leisurely walk and feel better about yourself?

I'm literally so stoked about this news!! 
Exercise is like, totally proven to be an amazing way to deal with mild depression and anxiety! 
. Like, who knew that all you had to do was get moving (and not just move your body, but also like, socialize with others too 
) and you could feel so much better?! 
It's like, what more proof do we need, right? 
I'm definitely going to be hitting up my local dance classes or joining a running group ASAP! 
This is, like, the best news ever and I'm so hyped for everyone who can benefit from it 
.
. But what really got me is how much more effective it is when you do it with others 
! I've tried group fitness classes before and it's made such a difference - we all support each other and push ourselves to be our best selves 
.
. I know some people can get discouraged if they're not seeing results right away, but this shows that even small steps can make a big difference 
. And I'm all about trying new things, so I'll definitely be looking into more group exercise options to mix it up 
.
. But we need to be realistic here. Mental health issues are way more complex than just lacing up your sneakers or hitting the gym 
.
. And have you seen all the new fitness classes popping up everywhere lately? It feels like exercise is getting watered down into just another trend 
.
. Just let's not get too carried away with the hype and forget that there are real complexities to mental health issues 
.
EXERCISE REALLY DOES SEEM TO BE A GAME CHANGER FOR MILD DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY SYMPTOMS. I MEAN, WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO FEEL BETTER AND MORE ENERGIZED FROM JUST MOVING YOUR BODY? 
I've seen firsthand how a good workout sesh can totally shift your mood. For me, dancing is the best way to blow off steam - nothing like busting out some moves to get those endorphins pumping! 
But seriously, this study is a game-changer. Low-key hoping it'll make more people realize that exercise isn't just for fitness buffs, but for mental health too
