The Best Exercise to Improve Brain Function
As a neuroscientist, I am often asked what the best exercise is to improve brain function. The answer is not a simple one, as there are many different types of exercise that can benefit the brain in different ways. However, there are some key exercises that can help to improve cognitive performance, memory, and overall brain health.
The first type of exercise that can help to improve brain function is aerobic exercise. This type of exercise increases the heart rate and oxygen flow to the brain, which can help to improve cognitive performance and memory. Examples of aerobic exercise include running, swimming, cycling, and walking. Studies have shown that regular aerobic exercise can help to improve memory, focus, and overall cognitive performance.
The second type of exercise that can help to improve brain function is strength training. Strength training helps to increase muscle mass, which can help to improve cognitive performance and memory. Strength training can also help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can help to improve overall brain health. Examples of strength training exercises include weight lifting, bodyweight exercises, and resistance training.
The third type of exercise that can help to improve brain function is yoga. Yoga is a form of exercise that combines physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. Studies have shown that regular yoga practice can help to improve cognitive performance, memory, and overall brain health.
The fourth type of exercise that can help to improve brain function is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation is a form of meditation that focuses on being aware of the present moment without judgment. Studies have shown that regular mindfulness meditation can help to improve cognitive performance, memory, and overall brain health.
Finally, the fifth type of exercise that can help to improve brain function is cognitive training. Cognitive training is a form of exercise that focuses on improving cognitive skills such as memory, problem-solving, and decision-making. Studies have shown that regular cognitive training can help to improve cognitive performance, memory, and overall brain health.
In conclusion, there are many different types of exercise that can help to improve brain function. Aerobic exercise, strength training, yoga, mindfulness meditation, and cognitive training are all great options for improving cognitive performance, memory, and overall brain health.

But you shouldn't exercise too intense in the morning.
What I do is strecthing , any head inversion exercise, Vitamin D
Strecthing to relieves uncomfortable stiffness
Head inversion and Vitamin D help pulling blood to your brain, reduce brain fog.
Exercise will give your muscle fatique which is uncomfortable to carry it for entire day.

Novelty is the best. If you simply exercise on a treadmill there’s nothing new. While you need to be more alert when you exercise out in the open. And of course not sticking to same route all the time is better.
