TAKING ACTION:
✅ How long have you been consistently exercising? Has it been between 6 months and one year? If so, have you noticed brain and/or mindset changes? Share with us below! 🗣
All week, we’ve discussed different things to think about regarding mindset—brain-healthy foods, accountability, and more! Today, we’re going to talk about different ways that exercise strengthens your brain—and your accountability to yourself! 🏋️♀️
At the most basic level, every time you choose to exercise or complete a workout, your brain gets healthier. You also build trust and accountability within yourself, which is wildly important. Even better than that, every time you do a workout when you really don’t want to, your brain literally changes—because you took a different route than it’s used to. When you do this over and over, your neural pathways change. When your neural pathways change, YOUR. LIFE. BEGINS. TO. CHANGE. 💯
According to the article below, studies find that it takes between 6 months and a year of consistent exercise to reap extensive cognitive (brain) benefits. The good news is that it can be ANY form of exercise. If you can’t strength train or participate in high-intensity training, try walking! The point is to get moving and keep going. Your body and your brain will thank you for it! 👏
