Most days the only time I get outside away from my computer is to workout. I feel working out has given me a positive attitude and a ton of self confidence. I have to agree with Ravenwolf, you should keep it up.

Even if I really don't feel like doing it I always try to make the gym when I'm feeling depressed. Also take my fish oil every day!

I'm in my senior year of Mechanical Engineering, and after a long stressful day of classes and studying, the only thing that helps me to unwind is a nice visit to the local gym. so definitely hit the gym when you are stressed!
