Exercise Makes You Smarter - This Is Why (animated) 

Basically: "Doing 30 mins of cardio every day gives you an Exp gain buff that can last the whole day".

One tip from my learning for the exams - make the run a reward for learning. It is unbelievable how it tricks your mind! Earlier a run was "necessary evil" for me and I went 1x in 2 weeks. While learning I just simply changed the mindset from a "punishment" to a "reward". I swear I go running every single day since. Plus the benefit for learning! I finished with excellent grades and I keep running switching to trail running at the moment! :)

Video: Exercise makes you smart. Me: Being smart makes you exercise.

A small sidenote: increasing your heart rate also increases the amount of fuel available to your brain, which allows it to work better.

Me: * starts going to gym to gain muscle * My body: Yea it's Big Brain Time!

I grew up in Switzerland and we always had lots of different exercises to do. No fat kids ever - and still now they keep slim. Healthy eating habits is what you learn in Switzerland at home and school. I am forever learning and no take away at my house. Only home cooking. I feel good, happy and enjoy new experiences.

This is my new favorite RU-vid channel. I love that you don’t make empty statements, you back it up with solid science in simple terms.

Put the speed to ×1.25. You will have more time to exercise!

It's hard to strike the balance between physical exercise and intellectual learning, especially when you are in the working world...

I've already written a comment before in a different video but I really wanted to thank you for this video again. It is so simply explained and the way you're showing it is just amazing! For each video I watch from you, I literally learn something powerful. Actually it is the first time I watch videos of the same guy and each of them are excellent! Thank you. I saw you you didn't do any videos for almost and you may have turned the page, and it is too bad, but I hope you can find your own path and be happy! Hopefully I can see your videos again, if not, just thanks!

Your longest video yet and it was great!

Thank you so much for these videos ! They are so well researched and balanced views.

I gotta make a new morning schedule then. Exercising for 15 minutes after wake up, and then rest for 10 minutes, and then study for 60 minutes. As time went on, I'll slowly increase the time period of those activities. Thanks bro, your channel is a great channel. Keep up the great work

Thanks. The voice clarity made it easy to follow.

Imagine how smart Stephen Hawking would have been if he could move.

"it's much better to be active over weight than skinny inactive"

I am used to running and now i am lifting weights. I must admit, i understand my materials easily. I am reviewing for the Bar exams btw. Exercise is a must!

Jogging in place while listening to this. I used to exercise regularly and remember how much better I felt then.

I workout out 6 days a week and I love it so much. I’ve been doing it for 2 years now.

My thumb got a thorough workout during this video from all the skipping over advertisements.

I remember back in high school, my best friend who was the ace of the volleyball team was one of the smartest people at my school.

As always: excellent video. Thank you.

I appreciate you making these videos

I'm actually learning here than I am in school. I binge watch the vids in this channel once in a while. As someone who is very inactive, I could really say that I tend lag and is kinda slow to learn compared to my classmates who are very active in many physical activities. Thank you so much for this! Someday when I improve myself and get better, I won't forget to come back here and thank you for contributing in my self-improvement. How I wish our school would teach us like this and care for us rather than making us robots and making us learn just for our "grades". It sucks ya' know..😔 But I'll do my best to learn outside of school like right now☺

I live in cold Ireland and I remember during exam days how I woke up early morning( very cold ) and pump myself up in the gym, come back home, turn off all distraction and study.. This is the best study strategy I have ever done in my life.

Thanks a lot for sharing this inspiring and useful info😍❤. Loved the Naperville School Example !!!

This guy really need more subscribers for these helpful videos.I subscribed

For me this is true I got sharper and smarter in class when I was working out and I am very active having myself confident since I stopped working out my confidence level just got slow and I am not active and sharp as it is but today I am working out again and it is really wonderful feeling of you having more creative sharper than most

Funny how Public Schools eliminated gym classes...it use to be a requirement.

Exercising also makes you sleep better which improves everything else

This is how I lost over 30 kilos in 10 months. I did 2 to 3 hours of walking 3 to 4 times a week for the benefit I could give my brain and amazingly found out the spontaneity of how my body got affected.. from size triple XL, to SMALL.

Also exercise everyday makes you have a good sleep at night.

Thank you for your excellent work. You provide huge value.

When I was at the uni and had to study/memorise long texts I would always walk around the room while saying it out loud as I noticed that I would always remember faster when I was walking, now I know why :-D

Thank you for making this video

This is one of best channel I've ever come across. Am always fazed with d scientific fact always presented to back up d info. Am always drawn to all your videos. Pls I have a question for this video. How many times a week is ideal for workout and should it be consecutive? Thanks

This is true.. Even I feel this change..when i was used to do exercise and study😎

I walk everywhere or take a bus if it's too far away. I am 43 now and will never stop walking or having a job where I move all day. My IQ is 150 and I know it is bc I exercised my whole life. I would love to see a scan of my brain to encourage me to keep on exercising. This is interesting and I want to research more about it.

Great video! Thanks so much🙏💜

I stretched when he said that you either use it, or lose it, lol

hello do you have a podcast i can listen to? i love your content. thanks!

Is even possible that this stuff might in part explain why we see that kids usually learn faster than adults?(because they tend to do a lot of movement during the day, on the contrary adult people tend to be more sedentary)

Exercise makes good sense! You don't have to be smart to figure this out! Interesting video.

I love your videos!

high intensity aerobics, you got it boss

Thanks

My first time listening. Awesome and very informative. I will add exercise to my daily routine. Since I’m studying now. Is walking for 20-30min ok to start?

80% of youtube videos are trash, 20% aren't, this is one of the few 20% :D Edit: I forgot about this comment and had no idea that it got this many likes thanks!

At one time, I believed that the "sports jocks" were brain dead. A physical impairment kept me from high school phys-ed. Hence, I devoted my energy to mental efforts, at the expense of physical strength. Yet, my mental abilities were around average. But one must weigh that with the mostly innocuous crap taught in public schools that one will seldom, if ever use. Despite 12 years of public schooling, I still have a mind. I spent most of the past 40 years reading, instead of regular exercise. This time was not totally devoid of physical activities as I build my home, remodeled other homes, and got into vehicle restoration. So, at age 75, I began a vigorous physical exercise program that I've stuck to for over 1 year. I've learned that the brain, like the muscles, grows and makes new connections when studying and trying to solve problems. From "Mindset" --Dr. Carol Dweck, page 219: "When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb; and stay that way for life. But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle--it changes and gets stronger when you use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows, and gets stronger when you learn".

I love you and your channel

I love this!

Could you link the studies that you mention in your videos at the description, please?

My home state is Illinois. Great work guys.

Good advices.
