The latest research show that for your brain to function at its peak your body needs to move.  John Ratey's book demonstrates the importance of daily exercise.  A study was done.  They had school age students spend the first 20-30 minutes of the day moving around.  The kids had a better time concentrating and focusing on their learning.  

It motivated me to exercise in the morning because I find I have more mental clarity.  I'm not perfect at it but I have noticed a difference.

He gives a good argument of how exercise helps with

stress

anxiety

depression

attention deficit

addiction

hormonal changes and 

aging

It got redundant s the book went on but I have changed the way that I think about exercise
