I'd like to believe your anecdote but since I know lots of engineers that appear to be super productive and also very out of shape I'll have to counter your anecdotal evidence with mine :P Note: I started working out about 7 months ago for my health regardless if it would make me more productive. I haven't noticed an increase in productivity, a better mood, or improved engery levels, but I do have a belief that I'm healthier

The end result depends on so much more than just working out. My first coach told me long time ago: the impact to the result is 30% working out and 70% diet. So there are quite a few questions that I'd ask, like: 1. Is your diet correct? Micro/Marco nutrients? Supplements? 2. Is your workout routine correct? Weights, cardio? 3. Did you check your hormone, thyroid, etc levels? Testosterone, HGH, etc?

  I started working out 2 years ago and it changed my life for the better, but it most definitively didn't improve my productivity at work. Why would it?

    Because of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Look for connection between it and exercise.
