Runners corner When you exercise, chemicals are released in the brain that cause happiness, explained Nancy Mramor, Ph.D., a psychologist with a private practice in Pittsburgh, Pa. Fifteen to 20 minutes of walking and the chemicals start kicking in, and the more you do it, the stronger that reaction in the brain becomes. For a double-whammy, take your walk in nature (or at least, in relatively fresh air and sunlight if youre a city person). Studies show that putting one foot in front of the other outdoors ... even for just a few minutes ... can help boost mood.
