I sure hope it does. Recently, I dug an unused treadmill out of our basement (literally dug it out of the mess down there LOL) and I set it up directly behind my computer chair. My plan is to walk on the treadmill while I play my tournaments, however my big problem at the moment is that I have a wired mouse and the cable won't reach my treadmill... so I guess I have to change to a wireless mouse first.

I recently went back on the greatest diet I've ever discovered, Keto... lost 30 pounds already from my weight high point, and that's without any exercise at all. But I still want to lose another 20 lbs off my frame and be able to see those stomach muscles for the first time in probably 40 years (I turn 58 on Saturday). I know if I don't do it now, at this stage of my life, I'm gonna regret it. I let myself go for a few decades but the fun is over now, I'm dedicated and motivated to do this!!

Without a doubt, physical activity helps us in everything, in poker and in our personal lives. Activity is a positive, and regular exercise helps us play and live a full life.

Exercise is extremely important for both physical and metal health. There are so many reasons, too many to list as to why it helps, but just google it and you will see.

Sitting for lengthy periods of time like poker requires us to do, is not good, but only 40 minutes of moderate activity a day is enough to counter balance sitting for 10 hours a day.

For myself, I believe it gives my mind more clarity. I think this is due to getting my heart pumping, the blood flowing and more oxygen throughout my body.


I do about 2.5 hours of activity each week day and weekends 1 hour each day.

In my opinion, this is true. It should be noted that there are many successful poker players among athletes. In general, sport has a positive effect on everything in everyone's life.

I think that being physically active is important not only for poker but also essential for life. You have to move and live actively every day. If this is missing, the effects can be bad for the body, during a meal the client has the necessary ingredients for the proper functioning of our body. Yes, I recommend physical activity :) It certainly won't hurt our game.

Yes, of course ... I think it is very necessary and healthy to do physical activities ... and people who play poker have a hard time making time for these activities ... we must find the time to avoid becoming obese and lazy ...

I dont think while you play you should be working out in between hands. I like to stand up and watch only because too much sitting is not very good hahaha. But poker is a game of super focus and anything that divides your attention too much can hurt you more than anything.

Those who do sports regularly say that this is how they feel best after doing their training, maybe that should help them in poker having that well-being.

Definitely yes !!! If you are in good physical shape, you will be able to maintain maximum concentration for longer, which is very important, especially for playing in long tournaments !!! During physical exertion, the blood flow to the brain increases, if this does not help you think better, then it certainly will not harm !!!

Physical condition and sleep are one of the main keys to victory.

Not sure about activity, but a balance of some other activity other than poker. If you focus on just poker (or any one thing like stock trading) and it goes south, it ruins you for days or more. e.g. can't sleep, can't work effectively etc
