🔥🔥🔥HOW TO BUILD A STRONGER BRAIN WITH YOUR WORKOUTS
*
It’s all about HIIT – High-Intensity Interval Training. These workouts go back and forth between easy and hard intervals of exercises.
*
💡Studies show they might be MORE EFFECTIVE than regular moderate-intensity workouts at creating changes in your body, including your brain!
*
BONUS: These workouts are also SHORT and are definitely not boring.
*
HIIT WORKOUTS:
*
✅Raise the level of proteins that help your brain grow more cells involved in learning and memory.
*
✅Increase blood flow to the brain, which gives it added oxygen and glucose. This can boost performance, reduce fatigue, and improve focus and alertness.
*
✅Help your body get into a “flow” state, which is when everything seems to click and feel almost effortless. That’s because HIIT workouts have built-in goals, focus, and physical feedback.
*
✅Can boost your self-esteem and sense of self-efficacy. This isn’t necessarily related to brain function, but it’s powerful. Completing challenging tasks fuels your self-belief in a way that carries over into other areas of your life.
*
⚡The days I do HIIT, I feel unstoppable! How about you?

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 it’s Saturday 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Day 6 of our 7 Day workout Challenge is here.
*
Let’s work those legs again, you can always add a upper body movement to the lower body to make it more intense.
*

Day 5: Back and Quads
*
You need a heavy weight (band is optional)
*

Day 4: Core and Biceps
*
Everyone loves to work those abs! well maybe everyone 😂, its a love hate relationship for me. I don't enjoy the burn that happens but I know it's good.
*

Day 3: Glutes, add a band of you would like to make it more challenging! Sorry for the late post. Looks like my background software decided not to work this morning 🤣

🤔🤷‍♀‍Q: Is it really possible to reach my goals if I only have time for short workouts?
*
✅A: YES it is! But you have to be strategic ...
*
💡And I’m going to show you how in this post!
*
👉FIRST: Health and medical experts recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (like a brisk walk or steady-state cardio), or 75 minutes of vigorous activity … EVERY WEEK.
*
That’s for basic health.
*
👉That sounds like a lot but it’s not. It’s just:
*
30 minutes of something that gets your heart rate up, 5 days a week, OR
15 minutes of high-intensity work 5 days a week.
*
🔥Now for your short-on-time strategy.
*
Since it’s not a good idea to jump straight into a high-intensity workout without warming up first, what if you:
*
● Warm-up for 5 minutes, and then
● Crank out a 10-min high-intensity workout? It could be an interval workout … a circuit … or anything that gets your heart rate up and keeps it there.
*
🏋️‍♀‍If you did that two times a day when you can find a spare 15 minutes – BOOM! You’d get 20 minutes of vigorous activity in a single day.
*
Or if you did it ONCE a day, you could add on a quickie 5-minute core routine later.
BONUS: if you want to rev up your results (plus mix up your workouts), simply do longer workouts on days you have more time.
