>how does it help exactly?
Exact mechanism is debated but it shows similar efficacy to medication. Dr. John Ratey, co-author of "Delivered from Distraction," began his career working with formerly high-functioning patients--MIT professors, entrepreneurs, and the like--who had developed crippling symptoms of ADHD, bipolar, and/or depression for the first time in their lives after injuring themselves pushing their limits training for or competing in the Boston Marathon and being unable to run regularly for the first time in their lives. This sent Dr. Ratey down a rabbit hole researching the link between physical exercise and cognitive function but he's far from the first or most recent researcher of the subject (physical exercise was prescribed for mental health in antiquity).
>i just felt too tired to do anything for the rest of the day
Barring some unusual health condition this is probably an issue of nutrition and possibly rest. It's also worth mentioning that getting into shape is more taxing than staying in shape. What kind of training were you doing, and for how long?
