Chapter 1: Exercising Your Brain

It is quite ironic that I was thinking that I need to be more athletic as I completed the reading.  I am not as athletic as I would like to be, which means it is definitely time for a change.  Most people would think that since I am a dancer that the word "athletic" would be of second nature, but here lately it hasn't been the case.  I was quite surprised to read that exercise has quite a bit to do with the functions the brain has.  I always thought of working out as a key to having a healthy body.  While reading such remarkable information, it helped me to understand that mental health is just as important when trying to become fit. The brain is interesting in how it functions and how "people" try to change how it functions.  I have been so programmed to how things should be and survival methods or learning from experience that sometimes it is hard to be as creative as I would like.  I find myself creative in the aspects of my life that are considered my "gift". I need more brain magazines!!!! Check out the video and check out      my glogster:http://dpwesley.glogster.com/rule1/
