Well, see, i'm pretty lazy usually and i never was keen on sports. So i never 'worked out'/'excercised'. I did however have not too little physical activity nearly daily with taking care of our horses (checking fences, carrying hay bales, water canisters, moving horses from one meadow to another etc..). And i have come to see that physical activity, as long as it doesn't need much concentration and mental focus, is indeed a great way to 'think'. I observe in myself, that during physical activity (shovel work for example is very good for this), my mind is much more active and i can concentrate on topics way better, than when i am sitting in my room, on the computer.
Now this might indeed sound strange for someone, who sit ats the computer in average 10 or more hours a day (out of fun, not because of work or so) and is generally not the sports-guy.
I suppose that this is probably relatively simple brain chemistry or so. Humans are made to be physically active. The brain needed most during the hunt for example, or generally while being on the move, performing important physical tasks. Another example for this "made for physical activity" is like when you stay in one position for too long, you muscles will hurt a lot later, yet when you move constantly or regularly, you will maybe be more tired, but your muscles will be just fine.
So i'm not sure if this is a worthwhile post, since it is only about me, but for me at least this is true.
