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

    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.

            especially when you are using the treadmill to run the generator that powers the computer :-D

              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.

                        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.

                            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.

                            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.

                                    I think the closest to that look is the body builder as the entire "sport" is devoted to appearance. You can really see the effects of the types of exercises they do. Fast explosive motions like sprinting and leaping over medium length intervals build muscle over the entire body and cut fat. Long distance running obliterates muscle and fat, while just weight lifting adds muscle and does nothing for fat. Golfing just does nothing at all. :-D

                                      Long distance running doesn't 'obliterate' muscle, in anyone who has normal nutrition. Distance running, like any other athletic activity, causes the body to adapt existing muscle to the demands of running.

                                      While aerobic activity is more effective for losing 'fat', any form of exercise (including weightlifting) improves metabolic function.

                                        Golfing just does nothing at all

                                        Not to be argumentative, but I must disagree again. From what I've seen with friends who golf, golfing helps lighten two things: your wallet and your ability to think clearly :-D. I've never met a golfer that wasn't insane.

                                        Yeah, there is a little bit of hyperbole in my post. :)
