Since we are sharing stories, I started exercising after someone really important to me left my life, and serious family issues occurred, at first it was just to help distract me from my worsening depression but overtime I began to feel so much better mentally and physically, like there was nothing I couldn't do. It's crazy how simple exercise will save you so quickly.

I started yoga and other exercises at the age of 13. I am 49 now having almost same physique and wellbeing and fitness like my teenage. Exercise is the key to whatever you want to achieve in life.

After I started going to the gym regularly, my crippling depression and suicidal tendencies completely went away and I didn't need meds anymore, it changed my life so drastically it's incredible.

I started working out just 10 minutes a day, everyday for 2 weeks and then bumped it up to 20 minutes a day... And eventually got to 45 mins to an hour. It was the easiest and most manageable way I could turn this into a habit. It has been almost 3 years and my body is so strong. I can't believe the progress I made from just starting small. I am no longer depressed and have gained confidence to go back to school to continue to change my life ❤ all thanks to exercise. It has had such a positive domino effect on other areas of my life. I'm so happy and grateful for this habit/practice

I started working out when I was 18, right after high school and I’m now 58. Not only do I feel great but I pretty much have the same body I had in high school.

I have an exactly similar experience with exercise. Until my master degree, I was only a bookworm. I read books all day long and did not have any interest in exercises. I used to get sick and feel sick in my body. After my degree, I met a friend who was an athlete and he encouraged me to do exercises. When I started doing it, I felt everything Professor said in this talk. I really think exercise is a must for a healthy mind and body.

This is the first ted talk in a while I truly enjoyed without getting bored at all. It feels like this video is some kind of revelation for a person like me who never exercises that I must start exercising….. Thank you, Wendy, for the inspiration.

As a teenager I suffered from depression due to puberty and hormonal imbalances. I was crying constantly, low self esteem and I HATED myself. Not to mention the acne, weight gain and puppy fat, which worsened my self esteem. I started exercising during this time, and within two years, my low moods and crying had dissipated . Had it not been for the days I pushed myself to run, to go to the gym, my depression would have lasted years beyond puberty. I’m 21 years old now, and currently an international student living away from home amidst a global pandemic. I make it a point to workout in my dorm room at least 5 times a week, no matter how tired I am after a whole day of online classes. It’s the MAIN thing keeping me sane, preventing me from having breakdowns and stressing less even with the struggles and uncertainty of the current circumstances. It saved my life, and it still does

It take lot of guts, commitment and conviction within yourself to make TED audience standup and make them punch in the air.
