Exercise Makes You Smarter - This Is Why (animated)
Back when I was in still in school there was this stereotype going around.
Kids who were nerdy and never did any kind of sports were considered the most intelligent and bright.
The jocks who were sporty and fit, were often branded as simple-minded and empty-headed.
So by following this stereotype you had two groups: Smart and weak. Dumb and fit.
However in the recent years, there's a new stereotype that's gained popularity: A smart jock.
An individual who is both intellectually gifted and is physically fit.
Did they win the genetic lottery or is it possible that exercise could make you smarter?
Today we'll look at the body-brain connection and how moving our body can benefit the brain.

One tip from my learning for the exams - make the run a reward for learning. It is unbelievable how it tricks your mind! Earlier a run was "necessary evil" for me and I went 1x in 2 weeks. While learning I just simply changed the mindset from a "punishment" to a "reward". I swear I go running every single day since. Plus the benefit for learning! I finished with excellent grades and I keep running switching to trail running at the moment! :)

This is how I lost over 30 kilos in 10 months. I did 2 to 3 hours of walking 3 to 4 times a week for the benefit I could give my brain and amazingly found out the spontaneity of how my body got affected.. from size triple XL, to SMALL.

Hi Giri Varshiniachar. I started my walking November of 2018. Prior to that, for around 2 to 3 years I have already been going on a one full meal and one or two snacks per day but all those times, every time I look in the mirror I don't see me getting smaller. When I started to walk in the manner I did and after just a couple of months, I started to notice my clothes were getting loose. Then, I realized that when you go on just plain diet, we may be losing weight but our bodies do not actually shrink on its own. From this time, the motivation to continue with both the diet and walking was getting more and more encouraging for me.

Thanks. The voice clarity made it easy to follow.

Jogging in place while listening to this. I used to exercise regularly and remember how much better I felt then.
For me this is true I got sharper and smarter in class when I was working out and I am very active having myself confident since I stopped working out my confidence level just got slow and I am not active and sharp as it is but today I am working out again and it is really wonderful feeling of you having more creative sharper than most
I'm actually learning here than I am in school. I binge watch the vids in this channel once in a while. As someone who is very inactive, I could really say that I tend lag and is kinda slow to learn compared to my classmates who are very active in many physical activities. Thank you so much for this! Someday when I improve myself and get better, I won't forget to come back here and thank you for contributing in my self-improvement. How I wish our school would teach us like this and care for us rather than making us robots and making us learn just for our "grades". It sucks ya' know..😔 But I'll do my best to learn outside of school like right now☺

I walk everywhere or take a bus if it's too far away. I am 43 now and will never stop walking or having a job where I move all day. My IQ is 150 and I know it is bc I exercised my whole life. I would love to see a scan of my brain to encourage me to keep on exercising. This is interesting and I want to research more about it.
Thanks a lot for sharing this inspiring and useful info😍❤. Loved the Naperville School Example !!!
I remember back in high school, my best friend who was the ace of the volleyball team was one of the smartest people at my school.
I live in cold Ireland and I remember during exam days how I woke up early morning( very cold ) and pump myself up in the gym, come back home, turn off all distraction and study.. This is the best study strategy I have ever done in my life.
Thank you for your excellent work. You provide huge value.

This is true.. Even I feel this change..when i was used to do exercise and study😎
It is not exact science but cardio or any form if exercise can boost your mood and fills you with a positive energy, now thats really a good start to do anything be it learning or cooking
When I was at the uni and had to study/memorise long texts I would always walk around the room while saying it out loud as I noticed that I would always remember faster when I was walking, now I know why :-D

Went to HS in Florida, and the requirement was everyday for just one semester. But I got out of it by taking a health class at the local community college (I already did my semester in HS in NY, there was a problem with transferring the credits).

At one time, I believed that the "sports jocks" were brain dead. A physical impairment kept me from high school phys-ed. Hence, I devoted my energy to mental efforts, at the expense of physical strength. Yet, my mental abilities were around average. But one must weigh that with the mostly innocuous crap taught in public schools that one will seldom, if ever use. Despite 12 years of public schooling, I still have a mind. I spent most of the past 40 years reading, instead of regular exercise. This time was not totally devoid of physical activities as I build my home, remodeled other homes, and got into vehicle restoration. So, at age 75, I began a vigorous physical exercise program that I've stuck to for over 1 year. I've learned that the brain, like the muscles, grows and makes new connections when studying and trying to solve problems. From "Mindset" --Dr. Carol Dweck, page 219: "When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb; and stay that way for life. But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle--it changes and gets stronger when you use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows, and gets stronger when you learn".

Could also be that individuals who have more discipline will do better in both physical and mental activities. It takes a lot of discipline to workout hard like you do in school sports.
