We are both massive fans of Dr. Amen’s work and according to Dr. Amen, the seven types of ADD/ADHD are as follows:
Classic ADD
Inattentive ADD
Over-focused ADD
Temporal Lobe ADD
Limbic ADD
Ring of Fire ADD (ADD Plus)
Anxious ADD
… and exercise is recommended for all of them.
We are both products of our own Neurodivergent Empowered programs, yet I definitely started the exercise component under duress. Lol.
I created too many limiting beliefs around me and exercise - too old, too overweight, can’t do it any more, I will look silly ... the list goes on. what I have learned is that if I removed workouts as a something to do for my physical body and only did it for supporting my brain health and mental health… I really started to see what a MASSIVELY positive impact it had on my life.
So we train in the rain, when it’s cold, when I don’t feel like it… because it’s just another tool that helps me feel in control of my brain and my life, and the positive impact it has made to me just cannot be put into words.
The hardest part is pushing past the limiting beliefs we have created about our self to the point that we work out that we are actually worth doing the hard things. You usually need help to get to this point, as I know I certainly did, and that is exactly why we do what we do.
