I’ve worked out daily for about three to four weeks now. Some days light, most days I’m pushing myself. It has helped my depression out a ton, but I’ve found that it is conflicting with my OCD. Im obsessing about getting in multiple workouts a day, and it is also feeding into my paranoia.
Over all the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
aziz. maybe exercise helps mental health also. i’ve seen it written that it does do all that.

It doesn’t cure and extreme exercise is bad especially for the heart. Some athletes died of a heart attack bcz of too much work and pressure put on the heart. I saw it on TV, it was a soccer player who died from a heart attack on the soccer field. He was super healthy.
However, normal exercise does increase lifespan especially in schizophrenics.
I looked up exercise routines on the internet and found these 10 exercises. I started today for my very first day and I found just one set of them very challenging.
Although its not a cure all, exercise has been shown to have great benefits for mental illness and help lessen symptoms. It is also awesome for your physical health and when we have good physical health it is easier to have good mental health. There is literally no downside of picking up regular exercise.
I would love to make it a habit again, I feel great when I am working out regularly. But it is a very difficult thing to make a habit because starting out when you’re out of shape is extremely unpleasant and exhausting and even painful.
