AS a long distance runner, I can attest how my brain feels when I do a high intensity (maximum heart rate >= 140 bits per minutes) run for 1 hour. After finishing my run, I feel very relaxed, my brain feels stimulated, I feel calm, my concentration is better, I think clear, I sleep better and deeper, and more.

Exercise helps so many things but the brain has profound improvements from regular exercise. I have to keep watching these motivation videos to get started on my program. I have a recumbent stationary bike and have used it a lot over a couple of years. Well worth the money as long as I sit on it while on computer. Makes it much easier ot start up.

I was taken to Barrows in Phx when I had sudden onset paralysis starting in my legs. By the time I arrived in an ambulance, my organs were shutting down & I was on breathing machine, feeding tube & received diagnosis of Guillan-Barre. This was in 2008 &with 2 years of therapy I am able to walk again. So grateful for excellent doctors & therapists at Barrows.

I find ANY exercise at all helps my brain fog, mind farting and general cerebral silliness. At one point I was a running junky. At another time I was a weight lifting buff. People thought I was working on a hot bod strategy. Little did they know I was manufacturing my own personal psychopharmological cures 🤪🤟🏾😊

I enjoyed the presentation and thought it was inciteful. I thought Dr. Amy did well presenting the information. She seemed to have a pleasant caring attitude and used a tone that kept you engaged.

One thing that usually gets left out of talks like this is meditation. For me using meditation as a supplement to physical exercise seems to complete the picture. It seems to be as much of a benefit if not more than working out. I have been meditated for a few years now and all of my ailments I used to have have now disappeared. I feel so much sharper and have more energy and just feel overall better about life than ever before. Things that use to bother me no longer bother and I have a greater love for people. I never used to be like this.

Here’s hoping all the exercise I did when I was young will pay off.

Real scientists say are willing to say 'we don't know' when we don't. As often as is needed. Amy Jak is a real scientist.

I would love to see more research in regards to what anaerobic exercise does to the brain. There are studies that suggest that HIIT sprints have a more profound BDNF release than longer runs do. Fascinating stuff to see. I'm excited for exercise research in regards to neuroscience in the upcoming future!

Yes very true and I believe it does too. The extreme stress with little breaks in between definitely boosts it

Why? Insulin sensitivity is increased. Similarly with fasting. Put the two together and there is synergistic power the medical establishment (pharmaceutical industry) can only dream of harnessing. (posted June 3, 2019)

Walking is the best exercise. It's weight-bearing and we need to navigate our environment while doing it. That doesn't really happen in a swimming pool. The aforementioned is also an argument against treadmills when compared to regular walking.

A track beside my house walkout at 7:30 overlaps 9 then get two then 9:30 overlapping 10 get two more then top of every other hour get one each then in cooler evening sometime get two again end with 8-12 miles each day. Also lift light weights upper body. I Fast 72hrs each week start Thursday-Sunday end. I still sub a retired teacher Biology. I eat 1.5 protein when not the other not Fasting days a Carnivore. I fell at a gate I thought would open recently no bruises no bones broken just bounced and jumped up scared son but fine. I will be 79 yrs the middle of month. Going for healthy longevity….

I agree exercise is needed but if someone is putting garbage in their body (sugar, grains, processed foods etc.) The exercise wont stop cognitive decline.

Re: "no pain, no gain" Pain means something is wrong. A better saying would be "no effort, no reward". Lifting weights is a deliberate breakdown of muscle cells. Eating the necessary materials is important. Muscles are built in the rest phase. If you break down an amount you can quickly recover from, it feels good not bad, and you can stay consistent with your workout & make progress.
