I need to start exercising again
« on: March 22, 2007, 10:55:25 AM »
Newsweek has an article on exercise and the brain.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17662246/site/newsweek/

Newsweek makes some unwarranted conclusions from correlative data, but it's undoubtedly true that exercise has positive mental effects. Anecdotally, I am more mentally alert and positive when I work out on a regular basis. Unfortunately, every timer I hit the school's gym I get an allergic reaction (I believe from the chlorine fumes) and have not worked out much since November.

Great article.  I feel so much more alert and aware at work since I started working out.  It's great, I'm going twice a day now.

I don't get the problem.  I can eat what ever I like and I stay the same.  It started when i was depressed and its just carried on.  Only good thing that came from that time  :lol

I can eat anything and not gain weight lol. Last time I had any huuuge weight gain was when I went on a cruise and gained 9 pounds in a week - from eating ice cream nearly 24/7. That was in 2001  :lol

You'd just be walking around and there'd be a place to eat, or a worker would come up and give you some food. OMG

I just started back at the beginning of the year and have lost 13 pounds so far. Now, if only I could diet seriously, I could have lost much more.


In my personal experience, the positive mental aspects of working out (more energy and better mood)  goes away after 6-8 months.
