"When you lift heavy the weight of the world is lighter!" Words to live by. Thank you Dr. Norton.

Three years ago I relapsed after 13 years of sobriety. I was an anxious, self-isolating mess of a human being and I knew something had to give. In November I joined a gym and began lifting-I am now off of all meds and I've never been happier-sober too.

Resistance training has improved my life dramatically. I am an addict in recovery. I took antidepressants and anti anxiety meds the first year i was clean. Then i started working out.... After a couple months i started weaning myself off my meds because i felt so much better. It's been about 4 years now, and I love my body, I'm happier than at any point in my life. My blood work looks good. I can't recommend it enough, try it, stick with it, give it a year of serious effort, you'll be glad you did : )

Suffer the pain of discipline or the pain of regret

Dad is dying right now, as my mum says " keep your nose to the grind" ie I will consistently still be RT walking biking rowing at the gym, do the things our body was made to do, don't let the grief sadness pull you down, one life you deserve the best life.

I didn't need this study to convince me. As someone who has suffered from anxiety and depression all his life, the gym is a life saver, literally. If I didn't have the gym, I don't know if I'd be here. The gym gives me a purpose with constant new goals to achieve. Besides my dogs that I've been lucky enough to have had, the gym is what's kept me focused on something other than the thoughts in my head.

I have been doing research myself on just this subject. Lifting truly helps my depression and anger, but hard cardio ended my anxiety.

Just a little more time that it takes to watch a Layne Norton video is it all it takes to reduce depression and anxiety though lifting weights. Sign me up!

More people need to see, hear and understand this. When something is said to be, "It's just in your mind, " I'm like b*tch I live in my mind 24/7 and so do you! Mind/body care is so very important. Layne out here with the valuable truth bombs as always, good on ya.

My life is in a spiral right now, and literally the only thing I have to look forward to that brings me any joy are my 2-3 times per week 90 minute weightlifting classes. I have faith that things will get better, but in the meantime RT is helping me hang on and feel good about and proud of myself.

Homie out there taking down Cartesian mind/body dualism.

Speaking from firsthand experience, it does not cure depression and anxiety but it helps out tremendously.

I love how he screams such motivational information. I needed that!

[daxxx]

[tamicoil]

Exercise does work. I joined a gym and started weightlifting, and after just a few weeks, i felt better. Got to the point where if I had to miss a day, I would get anxiety.

[BMB]

My anecdote: when I got out of college and got a desk job I had a brief span of time where I stopped being active. Not only was the job stressful but I was doing myself a disservice by being sedentary. What was crazy was, things I found stressful were less so when I started exercising again. It's crazy how something so simple in concept can help so drastically.

Words can not explain how much layne uplifts me and helps me drive forward in troublesome times.

I am now convinced that most of the valuable content on YouTube doesn’t get much attention. This is a great video and surely one of the “hidden gems” when it comes to useful information.
Thanks Layne!
