15 Ways Exercise Is Better Than Therapy

Ranting to your exercise buddy between reps doesn't cost you a dime.

Sitting on your ass in your therapist's chair won't burn calories — so complain to an exercise buddy instead and you'll have a cute butt to show for it.

Four-legged exercise buddies may GET you even more than two-legged ones.

If you cry, no one can tell the difference between your tears and sweat, especially in the rain, snow, or between splashes. You can also blame your tears on your super tough and gut-wrenching workout.

You can do it anywhere, and you get to choose the view — no stuffy offices here.

You choose when the session ends. Maybe it's 20 minutes. Maybe it's 20 miles.

Any time of day works, even if it's 4 in the morning.

99.9 percent of the time you''ll feel better afterward, not worse.

The physical torture has a way of alleviating your emotional pain.

No pills involved, and the only side effect is endorphins.

Sometimes a little alone time is all you need.

Then again, sometimes the more people involved, the better you feel.

No one cares if you haven't showered for days and show up in your PJs.

Sometimes just the act of showing up is enough; no talking, no sweating, no moving required.

Can't beat that!
