I think it's important to distinguish exercise from things like walking round checking the sheep or crop walking. You can combine the two but exercise does need to be something that raises your heart rate, gets your lungs going and needs a bit of concentration/determination to do for you to get the full benefits for your mental well being imo.
I'm off to look for the "Holistic" link now @Angus .
Spot on there Granny,
Kenneth H Cooper in his book Aerobics says exactly that and by scientific research has discovered just how much exercise is enough to be of real benefit; be it walking, running, cycling, or even swimming. Of course, work routine is oft beneficial to our minds and our bodies but regular aerobic exercise takes things up a step. Hey up; there's good title for a book 'Step out of depression'!
