Very well said. Though it is worth noting the distinctions between different types of math.
I found my studies of theoretical math in college enormous fruitful just as I found jogging beneficial. But I thought doing numerous arithmetic problems in middle school to be of minimal value and the rote memorization of things like multiplication tables to be worthless.
In short, much like exercise, studying math should be done in a way that is pushing your personal limits at least a little.
