I would love to see a graph of Anon#15's experiment; Rubik's cube solving time versus treadmill speed! This should be an XKCD strip.
Interesting how different people find different things boring, different things relatively enjoyable, and different levels of synergy between different things (walking running, bike riding... audiobooks/lectures, brainless tv shows, language flash cards). I, for one, enjoy running while listening to the swing/waltz/polka music that I often dance to (I imagine that I am dancing, and this activates the part of my brain that has to creatively improvise moves, so I'm always thinking "What do I do next? No, not that, I did that already" just like when I'm actually dancing to those songs), or walking while listening to audiobooks or NPR podcasts. I did recently buy a treadmill and am experimenting with exercising + TV watching. (So far, it's not as enjoyable. I find myself looking at my watch or at the distance counter more often than when listening to dance music or podcasts). I'm definitely going to try this exercise + language study idea.
Let me point out the following: Some people are saying "physical activity + mental activity" as though "mental activity" only uses up one resource. But that's inaccurate. Just as physical activity can use just the legs, or just the arms (and this means that you can sometimes do two different kinds of physical activity at once, but sometimes not), mental activity may or may not require resources that are also required by some physical activity. This reminds me of one of Feynman's autobiographies where he talks about how some people can count and talk at the same time, and some people can count and draw at the same time, but for each person it tends to be one but not the other, since some people count verbally (saying the names of numbers in their minds) while others count visually (imagining a belt of numbers going by, or a display that shows one number and then the next). So depending on what kind of exercise you like and what mental capacities it draws upon, the mental activity that best synergizes with the exercise might be the one that uses the same mental capacities... or the mental capacities "left over". I wonder which one.
On a somewhat unrelated note: I love RossInDetroit's story (#29) about the required 200m walk to get tech support, and figuring things out yourself on the way. Thinking about how to explain my problem to someone often makes the solution clear. When I'm working through a personal issue I will often write a long email to 1-4 close friends about it, but less than half of those emails end up actually getting sent, because as I write the email it often becomes clear to me what my reasonable friends would advise. It works in my professional life too. My group regularly meets so we can tell each other about our work, issues we have been having, discoveries we have made, etc. (We develop Fracture Mechanics models through lab tests and computer simulations). One could easily dismiss these meetings as a waste of time, having a "Just let me get back to work instead of having to document it and make Powerpoints about it" attitude... but it's always surprising how much progress is made in the week before you have to present. In those meetings we often hear "The project ran into this and that problems a couple weeks ago, but as I was putting this presentation together, it occurred to me to try such and such approaches to overcome those obstacles. That's next on the to-do list".
Kara DioGuardi opened up to Women’s Health Magazine for their upcoming April issue. In it, the 'American Idol' judge discussed her battle with an eating disorder, her healthy eating habits, exercise routine and personal growth.
She battled an eating disorder in her early twenties: “I’d pretty much clean out the refrigerator. Food was my drug of choice. It anesthetized me so I wouldn’t have to feel whatever I was feeling. I’d stuff myself full of sugar and fall asleep.”
Healthy eating habits: “The more roughage you eat, the more it fills you up.”
She drinks lots of water: “Two huge bottles a day, minimum. I have them around – one upstairs, one in the car – to force me to remember.
Her exercise routine: “Two miles of running or 25 minutes of cardio – boxing, treadmill, step-ups, walking lunges, sprints. I mix it up. And weight training is important as you get older. You build muscle which burns fat when you’re at rest.”
Her loved ones are honest with her: “Someone [close to me] said, ‘You may want to work on your arms – they’re a little jiggly’…The people in my life have no qualms about telling me when I don’t look great.”
After getting her first job in the music industry: “I started to feel better about my life. I was answering phones and getting water but I also learned about the music business.”
On her plans to take some stuff off her plate when she has kids…“It’ll be a lot of pressure being in charge of a little soul who will someday judge me if I’m not there for the school play.”
She’s finally content…“For the first time in my life, I’m content. I don’t feel the need to prove myself anymore.”
Are you a fan of Kara? Do you enjoy her on 'American Idol'?
