According to Robert Weiss, DPM, "The enormous increase in the number of people who exercise suggests that exercise offers more to an individual than mere psychological benefits, especially during this COVID-19 era. In an individual there is a clear relationship between mind and body. There is some research which suggests that exercise programs may be useful in treating many physically and mentally strained conditions."

"It has been shown that exercise reduces the symptoms of emotional distress in individuals. This would include addiction to alcohol and other drugs, sleep disturbances, over-eating, and smoking. A proper exercise program may inspire these people with an opportunity to set their goals. When these goals are understood and reached, it can generate a sense of pride, accomplishment, and self-esteem, thereby making it easier to love oneself," says Dr. Weiss.
