I am a big believer in exercise, and here is an article that tells how it can help me think better. "Why Do I Think Better After I Exercise?"by Justin Rhodes appeared in Scientific American. Check out the article for a scientific answer to the question.
Leaders have to be at the top of their thinking games, and exercise can help. I exercise every morning before I come to work, and I try to take a walk during the noon hour if I can get away. Some staff in my department are using standing desks now to get away from sitting down so much. Whenever I walk around campus, I try hard to take the stairs whenever possible. Sometimes I go out of my way to include extra stairs. Every little bit helps.
If you need to rev up your thinking engine, get up and move around.
