Exercise: the Free Antidepressant

Last week, we learned of efforts by two psychologists and researchers to persuade therapists to prescribe exercise to depressed patients. Now BU Today talks in depth with Michael Otto, a professor of psychology at Boston University, about what exactly exercise can do for depression, and how much exercise it should take to lift one's spirits. Three excerpts:



How does exercise for health or anti-aging differ from exercise for improving mood?

The problem with exercise for health is you have to wait nine months to a year for results, before your abs and your hips look better. The beauty of exercising for mood is you get the payoff right now. The other kicker is, being in a bad mood is why a lot of people don’t exercise, and this becomes precisely the reason to exercise.



How much exercise should depressed people do for sustained results?

We think that bouts of exercise are important, not just random physical activity during the day. We’re talking about half-hour chunks, the time necessary to get people past ruminative thinking. For me, for example, my brain shuts off at around 22 minutes into a run. And we know what’s worked in the trials is getting the heart rate up for 20 to 45 minutes of sustained activity.



How important is the social aspect of exercise?

Depression is an isolating force, and once you’re isolated with a bad mood, it feeds on itself. Exercise returns you out into the world. It feeds you in ways over and above the health benefits.

Rest Day!!-But Tomorrow we go!!!!

Looks like some rain today, off and on all day, so that should give you some time to clean and oil up your bike for the Breakfast Ride in the morning!It's gonna be a spectacular morning to ride, and i exspect to see hundreds of riders here, or at least a hand full, ok? Pancakes are a cookun!!!let's go!!! jj

They would work!

How about these for a set of rear lights?

Fine looking ladies, and the planes were ok too!

Bomb's Away!!!

Im thinking about having 4 of these mounted on the bottom of the Footbike, what do you think? hahahha!!!

You know your a hard core kicker when!

You take the long way around on your errands


You buy a cyclometer to count those miles

You find fancy ways to tie your shoes so the laces won’t catch on your scooter

You bookmark bicycle-parts sites – for handlebars, wheels, forks and racks – only

You become a connoisseur of handlebar bags

You scour the ‘net for unpadded bicycle shorts

You don’t feel the least bit self-conscious about looking like a Rolls-Royce hood ornament

You spend way too much time thinking about how to lower your deck an inch

When you go out for the evening, the part you look forward to the most is getting there (and back)

You often dream about kicking

Riding a bicycle becomes annoying

You move beyond English or [your primary language here] when trolling the Internet for footbiking stuff

The eye chart at your optometrist looks like this to you.

When you haven’t kicked for a few days, you miss people asking, “What IS that?” (But it’s a lot more embarrassing if you’re not on your scooter and they ask the same question.)

You interrupt rides to write down ‘blog entries like this

Well Howdy There!

Good LUCK Chris & Sarah on Saturday in the Salt Lake City Marathon, I just saw you over there on our blog, stop by anytime,as you can see im about the only stable guy here! hahahaha,I figure if you keep Moses out of your way, you should do fine!! CCR will be pulling for you!!jj
