Exercise = Increased Productivity. Fact.

You are right! I feel so much better when I exercise, mentally and physically. I am in the middle of P90x right now. I break up the monotony by lifting wights, running then switching it up and doing something like the X. It is great for you especially when you sit behind a computer screen all day or in you case night..

I do exercise often. Yes and I can say this has helped me to increase brain cells as OP has mentioined.

I'm 54 but have more energy than most 18 year olds. Developed my energy levels from consistent quality exercise. You only have ONE body. Treat it well and it will take you to amazing heights.

In fact, I make over 80% of my Internet Marketing income from the fitness & nutrition industry. IM and fitness combine very well and is an easy market to sell.

If you are making money on the Internet from fitness, I would love to hear from you to share ideas and brainstorm. Just shoot me a PM. Hell, even if you are just interested in getting in the fitness business online, shoot me a PM. I have no problem sharing what I do, since that's a key ingredient in how I make money with fitness.

I'm to the point if I MISS a workout, I feel less than par that day both physically and mentally.

Well clearly high school kids that play sports will be distracted from their "studies" ... i.e. possibility of lowering grades.

But let's not be silly... it's absurd to say exercise would negatively impact your performance in IM, absolutely absurd.

Well, that's what I meant. Since school and internet marketing both require lots of thought and work, wouldn't saying it's "absurd for exercise to negatively impact IM productivity" also saying it's "absurd for exercise to negatively impact school"?
But then I hear the rumors and kinda believe it.

Yes. Exercise does help. I am buying gym bike to have some exercise for my lower part of the body. Hope that works out for my health.

yes it really puts your body in motion, beside that try meditating and see how your creativity jumps up

I quit smoking and started running and lifting weights in July 2009 in preparation for joining the military. I didn't get in, but I've still been running and lifting like a madman since then, and it's the best thing I ever did for myself.

I'm ripped as hell, feel great about myself, people respect me more (I don't bully people or anything, I mind my own business; it's just that people probably think twice before trying to screw with me) People tell me that a lot of women at my work refer to me as "that guy over there with the nice ass" if they don't know my name. Also a lot of times when I go jogging and it's hot out, I take my shirt off, then girls drive by in cars and yell "YEA BABY!!!!" I used to really be depressed and down on myself all the time, but exercise (along with a more positive mental attitude) has put my self-esteem through the roof.

For a lot of people just starting out, exercise is a chore; something to get out of the way. But that's just how it is at first. If you can force yourself to stick with it long enough to see results, you'll be hopelessly addicted! It's no longer something I have to force myself to do; now it's something that I look forward to with excitement every day. It's usually my favorite part of the day. If something comes up and I can't go for my run or do my weight lifting session, I get pissed. I HATE missing workouts/runs. And exercise is such a good microcosm for how life is: you tough it out and push through all the hard times, and you come out stronger than before. And in time, you learn to love a good challenge instead of dreading it.

Not to mention that exercise/fitness is a great niche and if you can write from real-life experience, you can do well. There are a lot of fitness blogs that are just some guy talking about what workout he did that day, a new protein powder he found, a guide on how to do a certain lift, etc. and they are hugely popular. In most cases, it doesn't look like they do very much SEO; they just write what comes to mind and rely on mostly word-of-mouth referrals. Maybe put some PPC ads on the side and throw in an occasional blog post about an affiliate product, and you could be making some great money by just writing about something you love.

Anyone want to have a friendly fitness stats competition just for kicks?

I weight 210 pounds, and this is what I lift:
Bench: 210
Squat: 255
Deadlift: 300
Overhead Press: 210
Bent-over Row: 265
Barbell Curl: 115

Can do 80 pushups, 8 pullups, or 5 pullups with a 25-pound kettlebell strapped onto my waist
Run 3.5 miles 3x per week; longest I ever ran nonstop was 8.5 miles

If you believe this you should prob. go back to school. Anyone who says exercise can negatively impact your business is a certified tard.

i get enough exercise on my girlfriend, thank you very much :rock:

I totally agree I have noticed increased levels of productivity and more control over my mind such as wanting to eat healthy foods for some reason just by doing some intense cardio exercise everyday.

You're 210 and yoked? How tall are you?

I'm guessing quite tall or very thick. Nice stats.
