My thoughts: This article was very insightful in explaining the 'mind-blowing' benefits of exercise. I found it interesting that there are so many benefits to exercising other than the basic get in shape to avoid health risks. In addition to the physical benefits, it has many psychological benefits. I found it interesting that your mood is greatly affected by working out. It can lift depression, as well as make your memory and recognition better. Because it increases learning, I feel it is very important for high school and college students to workouin order to do better in school.

And when we exercise in nature, the mental and psychological benefits accrue even more. There is a large body of research on this, growing every day. The Japanese even have "forest therapy."
