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
