Exercise for your...


Most of us would finish that answer with "heart". Good answer. But much current research indicates you could answer that with "brain". Exercise for your brain.

I just watched a 15 minute video from CBC in Canada called Brain Gains, about a small, alternative High School in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Exciting academic results from simple - but strenuous - exercise. The teacher got the idea from a Harvard MD, John Ratey. Treadmills in the math classroom made a huge difference in academics and behavior.

The video is definitely worth the time.
