Does exercise help with anxiety?

Frequently: Exercise can diminish anxiety in many and can also diminish depression. It is good in a number of other ways. Try a program of exercise and see if your anxiety diminishes. Good luck.

Yes: One of the best things you can do for anxiety is exercise. Cardiovascular or weight training are great alternatives to medication and force you to focus on your body and form instead of anxious thoughts
