Potentially some 'ancient Asian meditation' bias subtly creeping in. Personally, I try to be as broadly mindful as I can in all my activities. I do not seek regular exercise, but embrace any exercise when it comes my way.

I certainly agree that exercise has good benefits impacting all aspects of daily life and mental health. I also agree that all these factors and regimens are complexly intertwined.

I saw a video interview of a running doctor (who many would term "elderly", though clearly fit, healthy, and happy). He said that only lately he has realized the benefits of strength training for older people and wishes he had incorporated it earlier.
