genre: non-fiction self-help

Must blog later - just realized how late I am!

Later (8/30/13) - started several days ago . . . and am now finishing.

This book was very interesting. The author cited a lot of research that correlates aerobic exercise with mental wellness. He covered the impact of exercise on depression, dementia, addiction, stress, ADHD, etc. My favorite parts were the school-related findings and how exercise can decrease the negative impacts of stress. Now if only I could get it in gear and start moving!
