@FATKATKY I think inertia is a big part of ADHD, because ADHD isn't so much a problem with attention, it's a problem with motivation. A body at rest stays at rest.
Good things to. I tried to Bike ride as much as i can and I have Kayak's i have built. so i try to use them on the weekend's, I try walking with my wife also. It good to have job that lets you move around also.
But yeh- I found exercise to be very helpful in calming me down and allowing me to focus on me career goal of becoming an illustrator: I'm currently at University. I bit the bullet and started weight lifting at 18 (now 23) and never looked back :) Couldnt be without it now!
I used to be a terror as a child and teen with the educational system: you know-the usual 'has a brain but doesnt seem to want to use it' remarks and whatnot.
I shyed away from any public sport during these years and found solace in alcohol and illegal drugs from the age of 13 to around 21 when I stopped drinking altogether. I still need to combat my drug usage, even though its quite minimal as it is at my current age of 23.
i noticed exercise has always been very good for me and works as self-medication. In fact because of my search for speed for adrenalin rush i always ended up using almost all the energy i got as a child(the only moment i was hyperactive, otherwise i was only inattentive and hypoactive) but now so many years later i found out to my surprise that my fitness is on the level of a professional marathon runner. I can easily raise my heart rate to 200 without a warming up and keep that for 90 minutes.
A year before I was diagnosed with severe ADHD I was actually 120 pounds over weight. I was officially classified as obese. A month prior to my diagnosis I had lost 110 pounds. And as of last Thursday I am happy to report that I am at my ideal BMI (body mass index). I ride my bicycle literally everywhere I go, I actually video blog about that on my station. I am very greatful that I do not have to deal with my obesity and ADHD at the same time. Bicycling is a form of therapy for me.
I am hyper so I am set... LOL
