People Who Exercise Have Larger Brains

According to The Atlantic.com a new study was recently performed that concluded that people who exercise have larger brains.

Put down those crossword puzzles or at least do them while on a treadmill. As a Fitness Instructor myself, if you have never exercise before, I suggest getting a friend or your significant other on board with you.

Physical activity and an active social life are keys to keeping your brain in shape as you get older!
