Did you know that as little as twenty minutes of aerobic exercise can send enough endorphins to the brain (think “runner’s high) to help you focus, concentrate, and remain calm throughout your entire day? Exercise is an important component in functioning at your best, and is even more important if you are easily distracted or struggle with getting everything done.
As Dr. Ned Hallowell writes --- “A quick burst of exercise is like pushing the reset button on your brain. It totally changes your brain’s chemistry and leaves you feeling refreshed and focused.” So the next time someone tells you to “take a hike” ….. take them up on it, and see how much better you feel!

Beverly what a great reminder of exercise's extra value to this ADD brain. I'm in the swimming pool today and back on that dusty bike on the cooler days. Huge need for exercise to be scheduled on the big calendar, highlighted in a bright color! thanks.
