Re: Exercise and ADD: RUNNING FROM DISTRACTION

[Anonymous]

I found your post quite interesting about focusing during physical activity. Maybe using our short term memory helps us. I find that for me jogging helps both my mood and my motivation, and I know my daughter is much calmer after being able to run around outside and to play. I think that PE (individual or group) should be something that ADHDers should be able to have more access to in schools if they are feeling restless or angry. I think this would help many children. I know exercise isn’t always going to get rid of many of the ADHD related problems I face (such as anxiety, insomnia and fatigue) but it sure seems to help a lot.
