Exercise Helps the Brain

Today we watched a video from a school in Saskatoon, where a teacher incorporated exercise into the begining of her class and as a result the students got better grades. I believe that exercising does help you concentrate more.  I actually started working out again about 2 weeks ago and I find that my concentration and motivation levels have actually increased. I feel more energized and somewhat "lighter". I didn't exercise when I was in school this past winter and I found that it was hard for me to stay awake and motivated in class, whereas this year it's a little different. I can acutally concentrate and understand what's going on in the classroom. Hopefully this theory of exercise is true and that my grades will increase this semester. Now that I'm back into my workout mode I believe that I can fit in class time, homework, and the gym into each day to keep me going on the right track!
