20-Min Brain Booster Workout

…PRESS PLAY ABOVE!

Every neurologist is now saying that exercise is the best thing for your brain. But why does it work so well, and what types of exercises should you choose?

The answer lies in variety. Your brain needs different kinds of movement, each triggering unique benefits that work together to keep your mind sharp.

Think of it as a multifaceted approach. Different intensities and types of exercise create comprehensive benefits, from neurogenesis (that’s the creation of new brain cells, a very good thing) to better overall brain function.

So what should you actually do?

High-intensity intervals produce lactate, which stimulates your brain to create new neurons. Short bursts that push your heart rate up deliver the biggest impact.

Aerobic exercise gets blood flowing to your brain, improving how your body processes glucose while creating BDNF, a growth factor that supports your brain cells.

Strength training boosts BDNF too, supporting the neurons responsible for memory and learning. Building muscle literally builds brain power.

Cognitively engaging activities like learning choreography or playing an instrument add another layer of protection. Dance combines physical challenge with mental engagement all at once.

A single workout can deliver multiple brain benefits at once. Today’s workout is my 20-minute Total Body Circuit, a two-in-one routine that blends cardio and strength training. You’ll burn calories, firm your legs, backside, arms, and core, all while flooding your brain with those powerful growth factors. We’ll target every major muscle group, so you’ll leave feeling energized, stronger, and sharper.

P.S. Your brain responds to exercise at any age. Starting in your 40s offers nearly the same cognitive protection as beginning in your 70s or 80s. The key is consistency, not perfection.
