What is Brain Gym? Brain Gym is a commercial training program that claims that any learning challenge can be overcome by finding the right movements, the use of which will create new pathways in the brain. Children, teachers, and parents do brain gym to develop neural pathways necessary for learning and remembering. Brain Gyms helps students do the following:
1. Learn anything quicker and easier
2. Control ADD/ADHD
3. Raise test scores
4. Boost learning for special needs (autism, dyslexia, etc.)
5. Lower stress
6. Improve reading
7. Increase concentration and energy levels.
Some of the brain gym exercises consist of the Cross Crawl which can be done standing or sitting. Put the right hand across the body to the left knee as you raise it, and then do the same thing for the left hand on the right knee just as if you were marching. Just do this either sitting or standing for about 2 minutes.

I guess you can say we are a long way from hooked on fun-nix; from reading and using computer skills to train the brain with a better concept to what is being interpreted. Learning anything quicker is always a plus, and if you can increase the concentration and energy level by creating learning pathway for people to exercise their learning ability don't change a thing. The thing I like best about this program is that it can help special needs children; preventing them from feeling any less intelligent.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of the brain gym. Im sure adults can use a little mental boost for their job from time to time. Companies can benefit from providing training programs that can enhance stress relievers. Stress can have a huge impact on job performance.
