Most, if not all, experts in the health-related fields agree that movement, or what more often is referred to as exercise, is central to our health and continued well-being. We are encouraged to exercise both our bodies and our minds.
Yet it is important to note that movement alone, done automatically, without attention, does not provide the brain with any new information. On the contrary, such movement will tend to groove already existing brains patterns more deeply. Over time, that leads to loss of strength and flexibility in both body and mind.
