As computer programmers, we are sitting in front of display and keyboard all day long. It may be an interesting task. But the poor body, it has the silliest task you can imagine: Keeping all time a boring position, nothing else.

What a refreshing contrast do make some axe throws! When throwing, the whole body is wanted. The body develops algorithms of steering the object into the target. As a programmer, I watch this progress astonished, and have pleasure with it.

So, for me the refreshment comes from the fact, that here the body has the say. The body runs the calculations, and the mind tries to follow. Not vice versa, as usual.
