Beginning each day with exercise is a fantastic way to begin our day. How we begin each day sets a tone for the rest of our day. When we begin each day with exercise, we are stimulating our mind and body for peak performance. Morning exercise stimulates the production of Brain-derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF). BDNF is often called “Miracle-Gro for the brain” because it stimulates the formation of new neurons. How you begin each day determines how you will live each day.
Prime yourself with daily exercise. Start your day with the one activity that will improve your mood, focus, and vitality. Regardless of our fitness goals, beginning your day with exercise is a must, if we want to live a world-class life. Daily exercise benefits the brain more than the body. The purpose of developing this habit is to:
- Prime your mind and body for a great day
- Stimulate the release of BDNF, “Miracle-Gro for the brain.”
- Improve your mood and focus
- Increase energy and vitality
- Improved impulse control and willpower
- Improved weight management and fitness
- Provide you with a sense of accomplishment before you start your workday
A short 10 to 20-minute workout is sufficient. Do whatever activity you enjoy. Don’t let good be the enemy of great.
There are tons of No Equipment Cardio Workouts on YouTube. Create a playlist of your favorites. You could download Perigee AB’s FREE 7 Minute Workout app (Google or iTunes).
For a 21-minute workout, you can elect to do three 7-minute circuits. John Ratey, author of Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain recommends this app. I like the app because I can do the exercises whenever I need a quick energy boost.
Change your habits, change your life!
