The 3 best types of exercise for your brain

Most people work out for vanity.

I’ve adopted an active lifestyle for my sanity.

Here are the 3 Best Exercises for your brain:

1. Walking (or running) in nature

Reducing stress is the key to creativity.

Believe me or any of these other world-famous artists who swore by their walking habit:

Darwin, Einstein, Beethoven, Socrates, and Aristotle.

Observe your senses when you walk. What do your feet feel like? Check in with your posture.

Walking in nature relaxes our minds and heals our bodies.

8 reasons to adopt a walking habit:

  1. Available everywhere at any time

  2. Lower back and ankle stretch

  3. Reduces inflammation

  4. Circadian Rhythm

  5. Boosts creativity

  6. Mental health

  7. Vitamin D

  8. Fresh air

2. Exericse you Enjoy

Have fun with your workouts for faster progress, better performance, and fewer injuries.

Playing sports has always been the most fun for me.

The game grabs my attention, and the exercise feels effortless.

Suffering isn’t a requirement for fitness results.

We can’t escape discomfort, but exercise that you enjoy changes the way your body responds to the workout.

Make exercise fun again.

3. Injury prevention

Reverse your imbalances with exercise:

Flat surfaces → Uneven ground

Sitting with flexed hips → Walking hip extension

Forward shoulders from phones and computers → Build shoulder blade strength

Hope this helps,

PS

The 3 best exercises to improve brain performance are walking, exercise you enjoy, and corrective exercise.

Because pain puts you in a bad mood.

And sitting causes stress.

Is foot pain holding you back from exercise you enjoy?
