Lots of great ideas and comments on the subject of exercise. I’m glad that someone resurrected this thread, since exercise is the missing link in my overall approach to ADHD. I’ve got the other parts of the program down fairly well (7 1/2 – 8 hrs. of sleep; nutrition, incl. fish oil; little or no caffeine; medication; education; coaching, etc…). When I was 1st diagnosed with ADHD not long ago, my Nurse Practitioner stated: “Exercise is in your future.” He has ADHD and kayaks early in the morning. I still remember my former boss stating to a group of us that if he doesn’t exercise in the morning, it just won’t get done. Exercising late in the afternoon or early in the evening is not an ideal strategy, because that will interfere with your ability to get to sleep at a reasonable time. I appreciate all of above comments and ideas. “Just Do It” (credit: NIKE) is going to happen this coming week.
