 that some of us until recently, had been relying on the Gym solely for the emotional and mental benefits that exercise brings ...rather than the aesthetics of having a 6 pack that some ehhhh narcissists around here  use it for... So, I can 100% fully understand that some of you are exercising to stave off depression & anxiety at this time 
Anyway here's the deal...
Myself, I've been in the fitness industry for decades (from when classes were played using cassettes  ) so I have a good sound knowledge of exercising and healthy eating...
So if anyone out there wants to exercise at home and has... either a full gym, a 8kg kettlebell or even nothing at all, let me know either here or by pm'ing me and will be happy to help or point you in the right direction 
Also like to point out that there are some great Personal Trainers here   ) who'd be happy to give any advise and assist with good simple pragmatic tips
...but for the now, I want to reach out to those who may be battling depression or high anxiety levels at this time...
If you feel that's you, get in touch and let's all get strong together!

"Nice one Tim. The link between mental and physical wellbeing is so strong, and this is the perfect time to work on the physical and help the mental
J is really into fitness so I have to work out whether I like it or not "----------------- I train myself for two reasons... - One is that when I train, I workout to a rhythm so exercise is my "meditation"  Hard for some to grasp  but that's my truth...
- The other is that many years ago I went through a very dark phase myself and the only thing that pulled me out of it was weight training
...so I can totally empathise with anyone out there feeling down and in need of some exercise or movement
On a lighter note...
There's way worse vices than exercise out there plus think of all the other juicy benefits when this thing passes 
Be safe and stay strong | |||

Be safe and stay strong "Mmmmmmm juicy benifits, by god i am looking forward to that, fair play to you Tim. My motivation has definitely changed, i am tipping away at the gym program. My new work out currently consists of paint, brushs and rollers. Listening to older albums that are so old are skipping quite frequently. But look at least i am doing something, my head would melt down and have me in bed all day will owing. Mediation is great but like you say it's not for everyone, it took me some time to get used to it. Excercise has changed my life, it's a great way to keep sane. | |||

"I have found skipping to be great for the times when you can't get out for walks, stick on headphones find your rhythm. Find it's great to get the brain and body reconnected when bog down in thoughts or low moods" ------------------- Skipping is such a simple exercise and handy once you have a rope & some space
I usually skip and hit the punch bag to some Tupac | |||

"I suffer from depression. Walking is my medicine. I walk miles daily as it clears my head. Great to see you have a means to control it. Keep fighting!" ------------------ Agreed... Walking Weights Push Ups, Body Weight Squats & Jumping Jacks Yoga mat/towel to do Sun Salutations A Kettlebell to swing for 4 different exercises
Weights & Sprints for increased Growth hormone and testosterone in males (Go on da lads!)
----------
SO REALLY, any form of movement (within your capacity ...) is always a good idea as it boosts serotonin (happy hormone) & Endorphins (Feel good) levels
So, we need to kick mental health problems
in the ass by keeping active & eating well
as well as getting Professional help (when needed) & proper meds..
FIGHT THE HEALTHY FIGHT!!! | |||

"professional help in this country is woeful. give you a prescription and throw you out the door with a (maybe) follow up appointment in 6 months" I must have been a lucky one then, I managed to get help fairly quick. | |||
