@NancyH_60 Yo @JamieGilbo1! We need this! I have no idea where we’d get kids from but I have a few adults I’d like to nominate

Get fitter, think sharper, your brain upgrades with exercise
New research from UCL shows fitness doesn’t just help your body, it amplifies your brain’s response to exercise.
Key findings:
1. Just 15 minutes of moderate to intense exercise triggers BDNF, a protein that supports new brain cells and connections
2. After 12 weeks of training, participants released significantly MORE BDNF from the same workout
3. Higher fitness (VO2max) = stronger brain boost after exercise
4. Enhanced activity seen in the prefrontal cortex, improving attention and inhibitory control
5. Baseline brain levels stayed the same, but the response to exercise became more powerful
What this means:
The fitter you get, the more your brain benefits from every single workout
Train your body, upgrade your brain 🧠

Had one of these conversations recently with a friend that thinks crypto is a ‘solution looking for a problem’.
Great article that saves me writing one. TY @VittoStack

We’re entering the era of AI applying to jobs, writing posts, and “engaging” for us.
One side: our brains love shortcuts.
Other side: readers’ brains are wired for trust (and to sniff out risk fast).
When it smells like a bot, effort feels absent → trust drops → you get ignored.
Use AI to draft and speed up output.
But at key moments, show up as a human.
Otherwise we find ourselves in a world where its just agents talking to agents!

@WisdomStoics Exercise with your partner. Home to hug the dog and cook them breakfast. There’s an oxytocin mega pint right there!

@foundmyfitness And add some aerobic exercise in and you’ve got the ultimate tag team!

Lifting weights makes your brain look younger.
One year of either heavy- or moderate-intensity strength training reduced older adults' estimated brain age by 1.4-2.3 years on average and enhanced functional connectivity between brain networks.
What I find remarkable is, while the training lasted only one year, the effects on the brain were still noticeable at the two-year follow up.
So many benefits of going to the gym, and not just for your muscles.

What I thought might take two years took five. I wrote a book.
Over the years I got bored of the same recycled narratives about exercise, and the gap in how we talk about it.
I asked myself: if our biology spent millions of years adapting with movement as a constant input, surely engineering it out of daily life comes with a cost beyond fat gain?
In a world where movement is now “optional”, what are we trading away? What do we miss when we stop moving, and what do the people who move on purpose gain?
Drawing on science, coaching, and lived experience, the book argues that regular movement doesn’t just change your body. It changes how you think, feel, and live.
I’ve called it: Get a MOVE on.
I hope it’s useful to someone. Next step: mock-ups. 🔥

Loved a spin on a swivel chair when I got the chance at school!

Telling kids to sit still doesn’t build discipline. It stifles imagination. Evidence: When students are given freedom to fidget and wiggle in their seats, they pay just as much attention—and generate more creative ideas. Physical activity unlocks mental agility.

@mattshumer_ Good read - only thing I believe it won’t replace is real meaningful connection. IRL events will benefit. Assuming we have any money to pay for them from the lack of jobs! 😅
