Candace Cameron Bure Explains Why Fitness 'Is Important' to Her Mental Health

Candace Cameron Bure revealed how she is dealing with her depression.

"It’s hard to admit it, at least for me, I feel like because I should be strong enough to overcome that and then it just feels weak," she explained on a recent episode of "The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast." "It just feels so weak. And the perception of that… And I'll also say that there are a lot of people who feel that it's weak and will verbalize that. So then it's just immediate shame that you're like, 'Oh, well if I struggle with this then I'm weak person.'"

"Yet there's so, so many times when I'm like, 'I don't want to feel this way.' I can try with all of my might to get out of this and I can't pull myself out of the pit. I can't pull myself out by myself. But it's hard to extend the arm and go, 'Help me,'" she continued.

The Full House star previously explained why she makes time to work out.

"Another big part why fitness is important for me is it's so beneficial to my mental health," she stated. "I juggle, as we all do, a lot of plates. I not only juggle my family but also work in a lot of different capacities. It can get really difficult, the travel can get strenuous as well. I need to keep my mental health clear. Just sweating that out and all those endorphins really help me a lot."

"That's why I keep going," she added. "There are a lot of benefits I get. My mind is most important, and exercise definitely helps that."

The blonde beauty previously revealed how she keeps up her fitness routine.

"I try to work out four to five times a week. I mix it up a lot, so it stays interesting to me," she said.

"I swear by push-ups: wide grip, tricep, dolphin, inclined, declined, you name it. My arms, shoulders, and back have really changed from constantly doing them," she added of her workouts.
