Brain Fitness???

So I keep hearing the Kaiser Permanente commercial on the radio about brain fitness. First, I am loving the fact that KP is giving so much good info on their commercials. Second, this one really got me thinking. I am always telling my clients to "do it anyway", "just do as much as you can", "try new things with your exercsie routine", "do something that you like to do", "have fun", etc, etc, etc!! And that is what KP is telling people to do with their brain too. Just like you have to challenge your quads with squats and lunges, and your core with planks and crunches, you have to do that to your brain as well. These types of activities increase your focus, help with your problem solving skills and can even help with your memory. So here is your brain fitness homework. Instead of going home at night and watching TV, go for a game of Sudoku, work on a puzzle or try a crossword. Now get to working out your brain!!
