The term ‘Train the Brain’ in exercise science refers to the concept of engaging the human brain while doing any physical activity   Here’s what I’ve learned in my many years of propagating body wellness: Training your brain will help you to develop neuromuscular coordination, which will then help increase your body’s awareness and metabolism. Numerous studies show that if you are able to activate neurons during your fitness training sessions the result would be 10 times better than the orthodox model of training. In our day-to-day life, where we all mostly live a sedentary lifestyle, we must find a way to be active. When we talk about ‘training the brain’, it is one of the most effective ways to burn more calories while also helping you lead a stress-free life. Brain fitness can be improved by various challenging activities such as practicing sports, playing chess, tai-chi, and yoga. Another example would be asking the participant to run when he/she hears a clapping sound and jumping when the coach whistles.

Most people have goals when it comes to working out. For some, they’re mental: beat a personal best, complete a half marathon or just simply feel your strongest, fittest, happiest self. For others, motivation is more aesthetic-based. Think improving your stomach definition, strengthening your arm muscles or growing your glutes. That’s right: everyone has an end goal of some kind – and we say, each to their own. But, if your motivation is of the latter kind and, more specifically, glute-focused (read: you wanna grow a bigger bum), then you’re in the right place.
