"This medical trial will be evaluating participant satisfaction over a period of 26 Weeks. Secondary outcomes encompass Estimate 1 Repetition Maximum Strength Test, Grip Strength and Arterial Stiffness; the former involving participants lifting their maximum weight 5 times with correct form, timing and breathing on an upper body exercise machine as well as measuring hand strength by squeezing a dynamometer. Lastly, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is used to assess Aortic stiffness."

"This clinical trial requires nine individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 that have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) using DSM-5 criteria, as confirmed by Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5. These participants must also exhibit mild to moderate depressive symptoms on a Hamilton Rating Scale of Depression score larger than or equal 8, and not have changed psychological treatments in the past two months while agreeing to maintain them throughout their enrollment period.
