One of the most common New Years resolutions is working out more. Many fall off the wagon, but some keep going. Those who continue going have a higher chance of fighting depression.

They found that patients who exercised had the lowest relapse rate, of only nine percent. Those who exercised and took medication had a 31 percent relapse rate.
