Pete—You raise an interesting question. You read all the time about needing to exercise for general health, heart, weight, etc. AND… I’ve heard it said that SERIOUS regular exercise (not just 20 minutes a day on the treadmill) can really mitigate the symptoms of ADD. The problem, as you point out, is that daily exercise requires real willpower. And most of us can’t stay with it. My guess is that most ADDers with a Wii keep it in a corner someplace, alongside the barbells and exercise bike. My question would be, does exercise REALLY help with ADD? Or is that largely a myth? And if it is true, how much exercise constitutes the “necessary dosage?” Too, what kind of exercise is more important; aerobic or building muscle mass? Or both?
Are there by chance any regular marathon runners on this forum?
