Why Aerobics is Not Enough

As I mentioned yesterday, making your brain and body better for everyday life involves more than just walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes everyday or doing some other form of boring exercise.
In the next few days, I will be posting throughout the day, some benefits of adding different types of exercises to your program. These types of exercises include core stability and strength; balance; and flexibility. And if you really want to boost your brain power, you should consider adding some form of exercise that requires you to think. For example, learning martial arts movements, which are sometimes called forms.
Martial Arts forms are, in my opinion, a perfect form of exercise to make your brain better, since they require moving your body in ways that challenge your brain. Although, I am a black belt, you don’t have to be a black belt to experience the benefits of learning the forms. You don’t even have to join a martial arts studio; you can simply learn to perform basic moves by watching videos. I am in the process of developing a DVD series that will incorporate forms in a daily exercise program. In the near future I will be posting sample videos demonstrating basic movements that anyone can do. I’ll keep you posted on that.
Please come back to discover how you can benefit by adding different types of exercises to your program.
Be Organic God’s Way!
