Many types of exercise — including walking, jogging, yoga, tai chi, aerobic exercises and strength training — showed benefits as strong as therapy when it came to treating depression, according to the study published Wednesday in the BMJ. “Still, only half of those with depression get any treatment.”Researchers analyzed data from 218 studies on exercise and depression, with more than 14,000 people included. But, given how debilitating it is to have depression, almost all patients should be offered both exercise and therapy,” Noetel said. Setting goals and tracking activity didn’t seem to help in the studies Noetel analyzed. And whether your thing is weight training or walking, you need to make the activity enjoyable to keep it up.

And because muscles work in chains, imbalance-related issues can become a chain reaction, affecting other parts of the body. When it comes to unilateral strength training, dumbbells are the perfect equalizing tool, demanding matching effort from both sides. Leverage science for corrective exerciseOne of the significant differences of unilateral training compared with standard bilateral training is its unique effectiveness as a rehabilitation tool. Research has found that when you train one side of the body with unilateral training, the other side is also stimulated, and this indirect stimulation actually strengthens the nonworking side. No need for an exhaustive focus on the weaker side; by practicing unilateral exercises with equal effort, cross-education training supports the creation of balanced strength and stability.
