Gym may not be for everyone, but doing something active is for sure important. Even just going for a walk is for sure very +EV.
agree completely

No gyms for me.. I try to ride instead of drive whenever i can, fitness + i enjoy being on my bike. Generally I go climbing at an indoor climbing wall a couple of times a week minimum, and outside climbing on top of that. Running 4-6 days a week, i've got a couple of good friends i run with and it's great for sanity to hang out with a friend while getting a heavy sweat on for an hour or two either before or after a few hours of grind. I haven't been surfing for ages, even though i can check the surf from my lounge window. Surfing is another one of those things that is great for life.

I think it's impossible to overstate how beneficial regular exercise is for professional poker players. Now that i can't exercise for a while I'm definitely having to be a lot more careful on the sanity and tilt management fronts.
