By Leo Widrich Exercise has been touted to be a cure for nearly everything in life , from depression http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/p90x3-reviews/sbwire-455028.htm , to memory loss , Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons and more. At the same time, similar to the topic of sleep , I found myself having very little specific and scientific knowledge about what exercise really does to our bodies and our brains. Yes, yes, I know all about it, thats the thing with the endorphins, that makes you feel good and why we should exercise and stuff, right? is what I can hear myself say to someone bringing this up. I would pick up things here and there, yet really digging into the connection of exercise and how it effects us has never been something Ive done. Inspired by a recent post from Joel on what makes us happy Ive set out to uncover the connection between our feeling of happiness and exercising regularly.

Exercise: Functional vs. Specific for Firefighters
What does this exactly mean? I am not sure; as a coach, I look for what I do know and try to answer what I dont. Lets use a football running back as an example, and start off with what you know. His job is to carry the ball and gain ground.
