Exercise your brain with a run

Some of you may know this but for those who don't, its a scientifically proven fact that its harder to solve challenging math problems while engaged under an intense workout because exercise takes fuel and oxygen from the parts of the brain that are in charge of such tasks. Those parts of the brain are too busy ensuring motor centers are well supplied. The amazing fact here is that the brain is never sharper after a run. After has little as 30 minutes of cardio exercise, the brain has elevated levels of chemicals, such as BDNF ( brain derived neurotrophic factor) that enhance your ability to remember, learn, compute, and analyze.
In a 2007 German study, people learned new words 20% faster after a workout. And thats just one study out of a million that support this.
Maybe we can think about this as we turn off our alarms in early mornings and fight urge to snooze and get up and go for a run and start our mental warm ups to a great new day.

Amazing 7's

A friend of mine asked what would make the top 7 list for my favorite exercises that I would recommend to boost metabolism and burn fat. Check these out, but remember use proper form and/or under supervision of professional at a gym etc.

1. Bent over rows

2. Deadlifts

3.Clean & Press

4. Bench press

5. Pull ups

6. Dips

7. Squats

Remember If you are new to exercising, especially focus on form first rather weights. Nice slow movements with proper posture will enable you to get further along.

Happy sunny day everyone!
