i heard the reason why we get depressed is because our bodies and minds weren't meant to cope with the sedentary lifestyle. Back in the caveman days, humans were always on the go, fighting for survival and hunting and gathering and dancing. but as technology and civilizations advanced, we became more luxurious and lazy. and as a result, we spend less time being active and more time allowing negative thoughts to enter our brains. and thats where mental illness occurs.
thanks for making these videos. they're very helpful with my personal journey.
Thanks for the info. I've always thought that depression is caused because we're bored and don't nothing but start thinking negatively
Charles Moss That might be partly true but I’ve dealt with severe depression and I intensely exercise at least 2 hours a day 5 days a week and am very very active yet I’ve still dealt with depression
But I will say that I was most depressed when I broke my ankle and couldn’t exercise
We were never cavemen. You've been brainwashed
@@ak5235 now-
Anyone else here because they have been sent her from class ?
ikr
yep
yes.
Yep
Yep
when the results start to come, believe me, workout becomes an addiction!
Lol exactly
my lower back hurts,I lift with 10 pound dumbbells should I reduce it or just do specific work outs with weights,If I don't do squats that's when my back hurt I guess because I've been working out with weights for 3 months everyday 30 minutes a day,if I try to skip a day the pain is intense,all the doctor gave me was Percocet and it just make me high any advice please....help,google can't even give me advice on this!
+Mysterious woman use weight lifting belt to protect your spinal, pelvic and internal organs. taking multivite tablet once daily will support your body and increase your immune level. b complex is highly recommended. it will boost body energy and also good for mental health. whey protein will help to recover and increase muscle size. may be your body tired and not ready to workout or weight lifting. stop weight lifting and go for jogging or aerobic for a couple of days. give rest to your muscles. after that you may start your weight lifting exercise again. mentally and physically tiredness also can cause low back pain. (early stage for depression). and weight lifting exercise or any other exercise will produce endomorphin chemical for well being feeling and also will produce a good nite sleep. dont stop workout. keep going. all the best to you.
you can address your lower back pain with stretches for your back. cut back on daily weight training to three days per week. on the days between lifting you can walk or cycle and stretch your muscles. follow the comments by Perumal Thanapal. you can use You Tube to get advice on a basic physical training program that will be help you train efficiently for health and fitness. good luck.
Ha
I like your regular voice. I hate every single other one.
haha
scam
This is true. I once worked out like a maniac for 2 weeks straight and I felt on top of the world. The only problem is that it's really hard to maintain that level of activity because especially when you feel great, you start becoming really indifferent.
Your voice is perfectly fine! And thank you for making this video.. It's great knowledge, and those who follow the advice will experience a great result. I began working as an illustrator, which requires sitting on a chair all day, and feel like I'm beginning to get depressed (which has never happened before), anxious, nervous, frustrated and irritable.. so I'm saving up and getting a good treadmill ASAP. There is really no way to feel happy and relaxed than by releasing all of this trapped physical energy by exercise. Only then can you feel at peace mentally.. not only that, but be physically fit! It's a win-win and a great investment.. if anyone feels the same way... invest in exercise!
Her voice just undid the benefits I reaped out of my workout
Shwetha Shettystop being an internet troll! If you don’t like the video, don’t watch it! She’s just trying to be helpful & make things a little less boring!
you need to workout harder hun. you're not getting enough endorphins........ lol
dang bro its almost like I had to watch this for school
@@BSG0005 if they didn’t watch the video how would they know if they don’t like it
I actually enjoy the enthusiasm and joy in her voice.
Wonderful! Working out is a gift to myself, part of caring for my mind, body, and spirit! Part of a radical lifestyle change that began last year. I am loving the results.
Well, I’ve been dancing for the same amount of time now
I did it for a month and now I feel amazing!
I've had loads of comments on my emotions and I really loved this vid :)
This is fantastic. Clear concise and funny. Start slowly. 5 min walk. I started with 5 min, didn't want to overload myself, because that would depress me more. If you have problems with you memory make notes on your phone. I hate exercising, although I know without it I am so ansy and depressed. Take your time one step is better than none. Thank you for posting this and helping all of us.
You guys are great!! These short videos are a fantastic way to send positive messages and tweak peoples interest on wellness. Keep up the great work!
I've been doing 15 mins of jumping rope everyday for a week now. The journaling part never occurred to me, I'll try that as well. Thank you so much for this.
Hello, Mike here! I just want you to know that this video kind of helped me, it encouraged me to do exercise, and stay healthy. Thanks!
I just watched it and i love it, also Imma exercise daily for 30 minutes and if I get sweaty I don't care! I'll jog in place, do challenging things, eat healthy (like you said in how to cut back in sugar), do jumping jacks, pump up that music and dance for hours, skip rope,go to the park, and read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasnt depressed until I heard your voices lol. Nice info though!
I really like this presentation and also, I would do this starting tomorrow. ☺
Thank you very much for this wonderful video.
You should start posting your sources under the vid, some people might want to read the studies.
Some things in life don't require empirical data to realize. Take your head out of your ass and just workout and reap the benefits.
+John dontknowmyyname 😂😂😂😂 Omg your reply is Hysterical. Thank you for a Great Laugh
John dontknowmyyname Hey, i'm just curious
+TTate I know, I came off a bit too harsh, but it just amazes me how much of modern sciences advice to people is a circle jerk of what has been fundamentally true for humans since the dawn of time. Do you know what I mean?
Think about it: Our ancestors ate well (variety of heathy foods), lifted heavy things, ran a lot, had a vibrant social community, were in the sun (vitamin D fights depression!), and didn't really stress and worry about shit in the future.
It just blows me away when I look at the rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. And... I don't blame people. Something feels missing. Look at places like New York, LA, or Chicago. Millions of fellow beings walking by each other like complete strangers. It's lonely!
Parents, teachers, counsellors, and peers bombarding us with the message that we have to forgo the things that make us human for some far out objective.
I was a bit hurtful before, but hopefully you get my point, and realize to take it easy sometimes.
I really like the video. Very informative, entertaining, and educational. I thought the graphic renderings were simple and very effective. They allow the viewer to be entertained while not being a distraction to the message. The voice(s) . . . I thought added the effect of entertaining and instructing in a dynamic and, when received with an open and analytical mind, in a very beneficial manner. Congratulations!
love her voice
so true. once you get going, it's addicting. Best addiction ive ever had
I have to watch over a dozen of these videos for school. They remind me of the videos I was forced to watch in children's church on Sunday. This is mind-numbing.
Your voice helps me focus, it's not boring.
all your videos are perfect and inspiring, thank you :)
i think i would rather workout more than write
+Steven Mcberg true
Thank you. Just got back from swimming laps, but now I see I need to do 30 min every day . . so I'm making more plans for the future. I'm in my early 70's and need all the brain I can get. Thanks!
I really like your videos! thanks for making them
I love your videos! Very nicely made!
omg how wierd... the day u post this... the day i starting going to the gym !! its so true... makes me feel alot happier... :> please keep making these great videos !!
I love this woman. She has a fantastic voice
Srsly? I love her voice its so addicting 😍
Can you guys make a video talking about how to not get nervous when you have to read your essay in front of a classroom. I'm taking speech next semester and whenever I get nervous I start to stutter and talk really fast. This would help me out a lot :)
I Ioved it! Good infermation. Good humer. Just good!
Thank you!
That was informative and fun!
I love your advice
Thank you so much!
No, you suck for calling physically active people annoying. You're probably a bum
@@thegreatestever4220 well they can be annoying anyone can be annoying deal with it
Man, don't worry. Just continue supporting Watch Well Cast and I believe they're going to keep this up!!! :))))
Your videos are hilarious and educational. I hope they continue.
This is awesome 👏 thanks for sharing this ❤️😮
hey wellcast, can u upload a video on how to achieve your life dream? like how to get the career u always wanted. thank!
Am I the only one who just wants to work out, not even for weight change or anything, who just....ENJOYS exercise!?!?
Is anyone watching for a class ?
Great voices, great video, great job.
this was very helpful!
Amaizing channel
Great video!! Exercise Out Of Depression is a community forum that supports and helps people start getting active. It's a place where they can talk about their mental health, too! EOOD promotes the importance of exercise to not only your physical health, but your psychological well being, too.
I love this!!!
Hurray!
I found the video very amusing and I liked the different voices! ^-^
Can you do one on getting well when your sick?
Where were you guys when I was in Middle School?! lol Oh yeah, UA-cam didn't exist back then (2002-2004)! That said, much of what you guys talk about in your videos is still applicable to people in High School, College, and even there after!
Keep up the good vids!
This is one the funniest and informative videos I'v ever seen! I love the different voices, awesome and very intereseting video!
Yay another wellcast video :)
This video is far too funny. Managed to get me in a great mood. :)
Aerobic exercise is also a potent antidepressant and euphoriant;[13][14][15][16] as a result, consistent exercise produces general improvements in mood and self-esteem.[17][18]
Im half way through the video. About to complete it shortly. Well, hygiene and smelling good is damn important... so after u go gym, u can shower. Outdoor run is fun too especially with beautiful sceneries but if there is no place to shower after a workout, I have to admit that sucks. Same goes to social dance... if no place to shower after u dance with perspiration all over... (maybe can limit the dance if no chance to shower)... After a swim at the pool, can shower too... Not an issue in fact regarding hygiene and smelling good after workout...
I appreciate the enthusiasm but you can use your normal voice it's amazing and not annoying unlike the other ones :P
Yes exercise is important.
Great video
please canyou make a one on how to keep your team in control
i love the voice of the girl and her witty ways of speaking, alright I said it :D
Okay, thank you you for the advise. BTW I love your videos ^_^
another reason is because on the very old day, we move more, we use our time on physical, but when we advance, our life make us sit more than we move, and techonily is taking over our time, tencholigy is getting more serious, the advance make us relaxed, when our body was made for physical.
Can you do a video about how to end friendships if they are negative? thanks
-Me: I guess i could workout a little, mabey loose a few pounds...
-T.V.: Oh look, a new episode of your favorite show is on.
-Video Games: And you're only one level away from beating this cool game :D
-Pie: You wouldn't let me go to waste would you?
-Couch: You've had a stressful day. Why not take a seat and relax, you deserve it.
-Computer: And you have a new message on Facebook.
Usually, all those studies were focused on long term exercise (4-6 weeks for mice) and neural function. for example, reduce anxiety. However, I dont think that short term exercise will make much of differences. Some people will argue that brain and neurons are plasticity. I just dont think it will react that fast.
I figured this is some kind of survey, hence you want us to email, tweet our short ''how I feel after exercise'', clever people, sure you exercise
u gotta keep a open mind and then you will find ways
Can u guys do a video on how to stop being forgetful ?
GOOD. Hope that it's usefull to all.
I agree with Cassie, when I try and read in class, I stutter, trip on words, skip sentences and then end up going "and thebolageloominousges" So it would help a lot :)
this is beautiful
Loved the accents!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do how to do loosed dreaming, that would be amazing
4 months ago i used to play video games inside all day whenever i could even when it was sunny, but i something just felt wrong, everything was dark, i was just raging about getting shot in a stupid video game, and i went outside, the fresh air and sun made me feel better about myself. but now there's pretty much nothing to do inside but games, which, for some reason, are boring to me now, so there is literally nothing to do inside. now i play outside, hangout with friends, ride bikes, etc.#yolo
Her voice is so nice :D
It's a flattering but awkward position to be in! But, remember, it's your prerogative to say 'yes' or 'no'; they did ASK you a question. So, thank the person for the flattery and compliments and just graciously say you're not interested and are going to pass. No need to lie and say you have a boyfriend or be explicit and say that it's because you think they're ugly. Hopefully, they'll respect your answer the first time. If they don't, you'll definitely know you're better off not dating them.
can you guys please do more than 100 days ? >.
do a video of how to study medicine, or how to study anatomy pls. .
thanks
This mind training game “nonu amazing only” (Google it) amuses me a lot! They`re quite tough and I wish playing these types of games help improve my memory and focus. I never thought that my entire family will enjoy this game too and in some cases, we have fun playing the game altogether using just one mobile phone!
I love this topic. Reading a lot about it. Great movie too, only I had to stop after a minute because the voice is... wauh, annoying to say the least. But again! Great initiative. Exercise and brain function = mega-interlinked. Regards
Working out actually makes me hungry... :P
I do my Wii Fit for an hour a day and I feel great!
I thought the title was "exercising your brain", but I guess in a way it is. Now to play some Dance Dance Revolution!
cool exersises
well, let me give you the best advise ive ever had. give no shits. you're nervous because you care what other people think of you, so just don't care. once your done with your speech its over and people will forget about it when they have to go or other people go. also if you have problems with having a bunch of people looking at you, look back but look past the crowed. i do this by kinda day dreaming or imagining im looking at something i love looking at, like the night sky
Very nice voice, i love it though. Wonder to see the speaker)
well hell.. I've been starting exercising for only 3 days a week.. maybe I can bump it up to 4 now.. then gradually try and do it everyday..because i'm already changing my diet.. trying to eat more bananas and apples instead of snacking on chips.. maybe that will help me..I would do push ups but now my right shoulder is sore from the last time I tried... it's been sore for a week now..so I guess I'll just stick to the treadmill.
Yes but does it help on remembering your school work?!!😢😢😢
this woman's funny. Love the presentation
I dig the voice
0:24 That was Barney!!
Hey guys!
pls can you do a video on concentration
No your voice is really good and funny
Where is the study from the University of Texas Medical Center?
I jog to increase my oxygen capacity for my brain can interpret more blood to it at once and which leads to quicker thinking and plus you can last forever in fights yayy
Aaaargh, I barely got through week of medititation. Now I tend to shut down during my lunch break without any prior warning, people at work are starting to give me looks. I don't see how jumping around will help my situation, I really think I'm weird enough witout this one :)
