<p>going to the gym regularly/exercising makes you learn better/be more productive? I played tennis all through high school and most of the first semester last year regularly, but now, I can barely find time to do so. I don't feel the same mentally (less driven, more careless mistakes, more time taken to learn new topics). Of course the classes are harder, but I have a gut feeling something is not quite the same. What are your experiences? Do you think going to the gym/exercising regularly makes you more motivated and mentally sharper?</p>
<p>exercise does give you endorphins…</p>
<p>Take the time to get some exercise.
You’ll work more efficiently and be more productive.
Do something fun and that you enjoy…maybe an intramural team? or work out with a friend? or schedule a regular hitting sesson?
Another alternative…does your school offer PE classes?
Remember…a sound mind in a sound body?
They go together.</p>
<p>Yes, exercising stimulates the release of endorphins which make you feel good, which equates to overall increased performance in school. In addition, exercise has also been proven to take part in a process known as neurogenesis, which is essentially the formation of new neurons in the hippocampus region(functions in memory & learning). So, exercise actually does have a biological origin in increased performance in school. Just something to consider.</p>
