For me, it's better to have something that I actually have to think about, because then it washes out the stuff that makes me anxious and/or depressed. Apparently having to coordinate both brain and body is the best for my mood, at least if it's the right sort of coordination. When I do something that doesn't require much thinking, my thoughts easily get stuck on the same unhealthy loop. But it's different for everyone. Going to the gym when it's mostly empty definitely sounds like a more pleasant way to do it!
