Your brain loves Exercise
When you exercise:
Norepinephrine is released, improving attention, perception & motivation.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is released, protecting & repairing neurons from injury & degeneration.
Hormones combine with BDNF to grow brain cells, regulate mood & provide mental clarity.
The hippocampus, a part of the brain concerned with learning & memory, grows in size with regular exercise over time.
Endoprhins are released, dulling the sensation of pain.
Serotonin is released enhancing mood.
Blood flow to the brain increases, delivering more oxygen & nutrients & improving waste removal.
Dopamine is released, improving motivation, focus & learning.
