Exercise 'keeps the mind sharp' in over-50s, study finds

Re:Exercise 'keeps the mind sharp' in over-50s, study finds by crusso on Tuesday April 25, 2017 @07:22AM (#14192468)

Some years back, I re-evaluated how I spend my free time (not working, not with the family). I knew that I mostly surfed online or watched TV. I decided to only watch TV if I could be in the midst of a workout. I spent a few hundred bucks getting some basic exercise equipment for my home and I began using it almost every day after work in the evenings.

I'm very pleased with that decision. It's produced great results for me, both physically and mentally.

There is a really good npr story on this. Basically you deny yourself a specific pleasure unless you do a chore.

I use for for podcasts and indoor cycling. I could only poscast when i cycled.

Worked really Well. Indoor cycling is mentally hard, but I looked forward to it so I could hear my podcasts.
