    I was told last week by a health coach that exercise raises your HDL(good cholesterol) if it's low.

    I have always hated exercise and I rarely if ever get the energized and happy feeling that other people describe, but I am starting to learn new things about my body from it, and if nothing else, you lose whatever abilities you don't use.

    Bottom line, if you don't exercise, you will become weak. Being weak sucks.

    Thanks for such a great summary of the science behind why running makes me feel good, and why gettingnphysicallystonger makes me feel stronger and more able to cope with every other aspect of my life.

    And Jenniebean, thank you especially for your story, mine is similar in some ways. I lost my mum to cancer last year and running was the key for me to coping with all the emotions around that - everything from stress and sadness and grief and anger to feeling priveledged and loving and relieved. Running seems to be the release valve that lets me let go of those emotions and be ready to make it through another day.

    Long live exercise!!
