Can You Be Depressed and Motivated ??

Marco here. Are you depressed and motivated? Do they even go together... The two terms seem to be mortal enemies. Nevertheless, yes, you can be down in the dumps and motivated at the same time. It just means giving yourself the freedom to get going. 

Realize that you don't have to be happy to be motivated. You don't have to be cheery to do pushups, yoga, jumping jacks or ride a bike. The best exercise to do when depressed is weightlifting because it empowers you in a way that mere jogging, walking, or swimming don't. Turn that inner frustration into physical power... Hugs !!

Weight training also gives your body and your brain some other perks that are equally as gratifying. And it can make your brain smarter too! Listen, just because you're not vying for 20-inch biceps or thunderously strong thighs like the muscle heads in the gym doesn't mean you should shun the weight room. Lifting weights gives you an edge over belly fat, stress, heart disease, and cancer—and it's also one of the most effective ways to look and feel your best!
