Muscles Aren’t The Only Thing That Gets Trained
Thursday, June 19th, 2008You may think that intense weight training only works the muscles and other systems, such as the cardiovascular. However, there’s something else that derives great benefit as well…..your brain.
MuscleMag reports on a study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that regular workout routines will protect the brain and keep it young. The author’s wrote, “Physical and aerobic training can lower your risk of developing some undesirable age-related changes in cognitive and brain function and also help the brain maintain its ability to recover one function if another starts failing later in life”.
The intense focus and concentration that’s required to perform your workout program properly to stimulate muscle building and weight gain no doubts keeps the cob webs out of your brain as long as you continue to train.
