Recently, I stumbled across a fascinating post from Arnold’s Pump Club — that’s Arnold Schwarzenegger’s brainchild — which gives members advice on health and fitness.
Arnie’s team shared a systematic review, which assessed 15 clinical trials, nine including participants with diagnosed anxiety disorders and six involving adults with raised anxiety. Researchers discovered that across every study included, exercise reduced anxiety symptoms in a “moderate-to-large” way, similar to cognitive behavioural therapy. Wow.
