I was roaming around Central Park this week while working in New York City , and came across the nicest yet strangest thing. This man, pictured at right, was ambitiously pursuing a workout in the park. That's the nice part.

The weird part is two-fold. First oddity, he was only wearing his boxer shorts. I suppose that is better than frolicking around in a pair of bikini briefs, but still ... it looked a bit silly to me. The second bit of strangeness was his routine. Of course I'm always telling you guys and gals to 'just move', but this dude took that movement to another level.

He flailed his arms around, tip toe jogged in circles, and frequently practiced handstands (at right) against this tree. I both admired his ambitiousness and marveled at his lack of concern for what others thought. I also giggled a lot too.

Ever heard the old myth that if you stand on your head, it will cause all the blood to rush there and help you think? Well, there might actually be something to that old rumor, according to recent studies. Apparently, when blood rushes to your head, it might bring more than just oxygen to the brain -- it might help stimulate neurons and aid in Neurotransmission too.

And researchers are looking at ways to incorporate this idea into modern medicine. For instance, they're looking in to how it can possibly help with illnesses like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's. So would new treatments involve hanging by your feet, a la Batman? Only time will tell.
