So alot of you are probably looking at the title wondering what the hell is he talking about. Well bare with me here and read if you would like, the story covers the past 4 or so years of my life from Freshman/Sophmore year in Highschool to Freshman year in college (today)
Ok so here we go, all my life I played soccer so that was some form of cardio I did but it was only a few times a week and obviously not enough. Me, weighing in at about 215~ lbs realized I needed to do more. So I came here, did my think, ran about 5 miles a day. Dropped 40-45 lbs in about 4 months. So this was back in the beginning of sophmore year that I had done this. I continued doing the cardio throughout my junior year and stopped sometime over the summer inbetween junior and senior year. And cut it out more or less completley since then.
Ok so the realization and the link part:
I noticed that while overweight freshman year I was pulling about an 85 average, doing my best.
Sophmore year I was pulling an 85 in the beginning and when I had been running I had instantly pulled my average to about a 93 without trying whatsoever
Now to junior year:
Was a much harder year, still managed to do 90s +. Still never did any work. I ujsed to always sleep during class, listen to my ipod and not doing anything. Just homeworks and taking tests. I remember one of my teachers actually called to tell my mom that I pissed her off because of how smart I was and didnt put in any effort.
Ok now to senior year without any cardio. I gained about 40 lbs back, and still am back up to
~215. My grade from 1st quarter was a 90~ and as I gained the 40lbs back steadily dropped back to about an 85.
Now I am in my first year of college and I think I am noticing the same trend. Struggling to keep a 3.2 but then again the chemistry and biology classes are much tougher.
What do you guys think, does weight, fitness, cardio really matter on intellectual ability or just a coincidence?

But seriously, you likely have more energy, better self esteem, etc. It's affecting every aspect of your life.
