HIIT workout💥 🧠Today’s Brain Health Tip: Get to know the brain health benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)?🏃🏻‍♀️ 👩🏻‍🔬Scientists call this exercise-induced neuroprotection. 🏝Here at the Panama Brain Health Retreat, Stacy @fisher.fitness leads us in her unique take on HIIT. She makes it fun!😅 👉🏽Scroll to the last slides to see a graphic of how this type of exercise may work to protect the brain: ⤴️neurogenesis especially in the hippocampus (memory center) ⬇️ β-amyloid & neuro oxidative-inflammatory stress ⤴️brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to build synapses and neuroplasticity Create your own HIIT workout using Stacy’s formula: 🏃🏻‍♀️Beginner: 30 seconds high intensity (get your heart rate up) + 1 minute rest 🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️Advanced: 45 seconds high intensity + 15 seconds rest 🧠Do 4 rounds of 6 exercises with a full minute break between rounds for 30 minutes total.
