Book Reviews of Exercise Beats Depression

Book Review: Exercise Beats Depression
Summary: 5 Stars

This excellent book gets my highest rating. The fact that its content is research-based makes me comfortable with the program recommendations. It is written in a straightforward style using easy to understand language and it is well-organized - all attributes I consider essential for a "step-by-step" program. The conversational manner in which the author explains things is especially helpful at making the book easy to read and easy to follow. And very importantly, it presents a "do-able" program.

It is "do-able" because the author sets out a choice of exercise routines that fit various mobility capabilities or whether you choose to exercise at home or at a gym. I appreciate the fact that one size does NOT fit all when it comes to exercising. I could pick the most appropriate for me reflecting my capabilities and situation. Also, I didn't have to spend a lot of money for expensive equipment. I particularly like all the pictures showing someone doing the exercises and the detailed explanations and notes offering tips about each exercise. The progress tracking worksheets are also very helpful.

Summary of Exercise Beats Depression

Depression is a disabling condition which can adversely affect a person's work, sleep, eating habits, and family life-as well as one's overall health. Unfortunately, while commonly used treatments can be highly effective, they may not be ideal for everybody. For instance, some drugs have unwanted side-effects, and many people are turned off by the social stigma of going to therapy. Money can be an issue as well.

This is the point of Exercise Beats Depression. It is not a substitute for medical therapy, but rather represents another option that can be used alone or in combination with other treatments to effectively lower or eliminate the symptoms of depression.

Based entirely on randomized controlled trials, Exercise Beats Depression is a simple, yet effective program that can be done in the privacy of one's home with minimal cost or equipment. Exercise sheets are also included to help guide the reader through the step-by-step plan.
