You live in your body and mind every second of every day. You deserve to enjoy them.
I created Elate Fitness as a way to guide people to understand their physical and mental health, subdue depressive feelings, and thrive in their life.
Wendy Suzuki, a professor of Neural Science and Psychology at New York University has a similar mission and has spent many years studying the mind and body.
Wendy gave a Ted Talk called the brain-changing benefits of exercise explaining how exercise is the most transformative thing you can do for your brain for 3 reasons:
1. Immediate Effects:
- Increasing neurotransmitters for an immediate boost in mood after the workout
- Improves focus and memory for at least 2 hours afterwards
- Improves reaction times
2. Long Term:
- Exercises increases new brain cells in the Hippocampus which increase its volume
- Improve long term memory
- Improve attention function
- Long lasting increases in those good mood neurotransmitters
3. Protective Effects on the Brain:
- Regular workouts increase volume
- Help prevent neurodegenerative diseases (like dementia and Alzheimer’s) and cognitive decline
Practice healthy movement 3-4x per week with 30min session and aerobic sessions to get the most from this!
