Yup, just knowing you are doing the right thing and seeing the results is a mood enhancer but more than that, Time Magazine reports that science says resistance training itself is a mood enhancer.
Researchers reviewed 30 previously published studies looking for connections and they found resistance exercise training (RET) such as weightlifting and strength training, is associated with a significant reduction in the symptoms of depression.
