How To Improve Memory & Concentration Through Movement
Here’s how to start.
(Note: If it’s been a long time since you’ve exercised, check with your doctor for suggestions before starting a new exercise regime.)
- If you’ve never been an exerciser or if it has been a long time, start slow.A great place to start is by taking 10-minute walks, three times per week. Just enjoy the fresh air! Then, keep adding 10 minutes to your walk each week until you get up to 30 – 60 minutes. Also, try adding 10 minutes of resistance training two times a week using light hand weights or simply your body weight.
- If you exercise occasionally, we recommend brisk walking or jogging three times a week for 20 minutes. Add 10 minutes each week until you get to 30 or 45 minutes of brisk movement, three times a week, and gradually increase the intensity until you get to 60-80% of your maximum heart rate. Meanwhile, add 15 minutes of resistance training or weight lifting twice a week… and pay attention to any changes in your memory, concentration, sleep quality and overall sense of well-being, not to mention the compliments you might start getting with all that movement. If you’re not a walker, any aerobic activity like swimming or biking is a great substitution.
- If you already exercise regularly, be sure to keep upping the intensity! Also, try including high-intensity interval training and weight lifting at least 2-3 times week.
- Anyone can re-grow brain cells and improve memory and concentration, no matter where you start!
