My mantra: Brainless exercise is a lost opportunity for improvement.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing we don't want to do is overstate the benefits, but there is all kinds of proof that exercise, both physical and mental, increases brain activity.
The only exercise I take is walking behind the coffins of friends who took exercise.
It's good to make your brain work more than your body.
Walking is the only way proven to stave off cognitive decline - it works.
The mind is the most important part of achieving any fitness goal. Mental change always comes before physical change.
Physically my brain is in great shape. My motor functions are fine, but I think going through the whole ordeal... coming pretty close to death, may have affected my priorities.
Exercise, from a public health perspective, is an unmitigated failure. The world's longest-lived people live in environments that nudge them into more movement. They don't use power tools, they do their own yard work, they grow a garden.
Running - and yoga, too - is my sanity and my saviour. It's just finding the time to do it!
Practice puts brains in your muscles.
My workout is my meditation.
