If you or a loved one are fighting depression, it’s very hard to get motivated to take action. With that in mind, it’s even more difficult to consider exercise as a treatment because of all of the work and energy you need to make it happen. You know it works (here is a summary of Scientific Articles proving it (http://exercisemd.com/how-exercise-helps-the-brain/) but it’s been hard for you to start and to maintain exercise over your life time. What if you only need 5 minutes a week?
It was very difficult for me to use exercise as a tool as well – i hated it! I kept thinking of those grade 5 gym classes when I couldn’t do a lap around the track without stopping for air. Read my story here.
Here’s how it works
1)If you were to say yes to 5 minutes of purposeful exercise per week, it’s time for a celebration. That decision and subsequent action at ExerciseMD is what I need to hear to know you will be successful.
2)Next, we set aside the day and time for you to do the exercise. We make sure it’s safe and fits with a level that you are comfortable with.
3)On the day and appointed time, you then do the purposeful exercise. This means you aren’t tracking usual walks around the house, to get the mail or to walk from your car to the mall. You are doing a 5 minute workout for brain health. You may still be walking to the store or the mall or to your car, but you are purposefully doing 5 minutes extra to complete your Exercise Prescription for that day.
4)Once you are doing 5 minutes successfully each week, you might ask for more (maybe 10 minutes once a week). The only rule is that it must be PURPOSEFUL exercise for your brain health – time set aside to on purpose workout as prescribed. Once you achieve your goal of successfully using Prescriptive Exercise for Brain Health 5 minutes per week, you will have broken through previous learned behaviours to a new pattern of health. Over weeks, months or even years with coaching, you will continue to achieve success in using Prescriptive Exercise to fight depression and anxiety.
