    Isn't as distracting as I would have thought.

      You are not running fast enough. At 8 mph I can't do much but wish I was dead and turn the music up.

      Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

        I find walking helps me think. Although I would have thought it would impact your typing ability quite a bit.

          For that I kick off my shoes and I hit the street. Nothing like running 800s or tabata sprints barefoot. :-D This might be NSFW for some of you, just Olympic athletes in skimpy bathing suits.

            I thought that too, but surprisingly not.

              Walking of course, right? Small print is too hard to read I have found.

                Definitely walking. Running would be to distracting for everyone else in the office.

                      It is not. Exercise make brain better especially middle aged brain. Obviously you might just be walking and not running very fast. Another alternative is to follow walk + code + walk + code loop. That works much better. There are several research articles quoted in this book: Brain Rules[^].

                        Yeah, there is a ton of evidence that many different kinds of exercise have positive impacts on health and cognitive function. I expected mixing the two would be a total disaster.

                          Make sure you step into your code to look for bugs. :)

                                Yeah, takes a while to thicken the arteries in your head, until you do that it's a major headrush. I'm still getting used to the odd feeling you get when you stop the treadmill. Whoa.

                                    Wow that's actually really interesting. On the one hand you've got your everyday Joe blow body type. On the other you've got you Super hero style physique. You'd assume that at least some of these guys and gals would fall into the Super hero style, but from what I saw none of them really do! They all have specialized per their respective sports and it shows in their general physiques - even though they're super fit, they don't really have what you'd call a super hero cut to them. Very interesting.
