A Cambridge University study says that running on a regular basis lends to the growth of new cells in the memory-boosting area of the brain (GoodNewsGazette.net, 2010). So when your personal trainer says that running is good for you, you better believe him/her.

Your personal trainer can give you the advice and motivation you need to get healthy and stay healthy. Working with your personal trainer on a daily or weekly basis is ideal because it keeps your physical activity routine steady. Your personal trainer knows that exercise is good for you.

Not only will your personal trainer stress the benefits of working out under his/her supervision to keep your exercise momentum up, but your personal trainer will remind you of the positive benefits of exercise. When you exercise, your mental abilities get sharper.

Your personal trainer will work with you during a run, a jog, a swim, a bicycling session outdoors or indoors, or other physical activity so that you build up a sweat, your heart starts pumping stronger, and you increase your breathing. This exercise will give your body and your brain a boost.

As your personal trainer knows from his/her experience and education, exercise has excellent overall benefits for your mind and body. As the pounds melt away when you rev up your exercise program under the instruction and supervision of your personal trainer, you will find that your brain is more intelligent and performs better.

Your personal trainer is probably familiar with research conducted by John Ratey, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School in Boston. This professor’s Harvard Medical School research has led to the conclusion that exercise can boost memory and exercise stimulates what he calls “Miracle Grow” for the brain (John Ratey, 2010).

And to extend this knowledge further, your personal trainer can back these findings up by further research about the positive effect of exercise on the brain from research completed at Yale University.
Scientists from Yale University recorded in the journal Nature Medicine that exercise on a regular basis has an impact on the hippocampus, the section of the brain related to our mood and happiness. Research results revealed that exercise triggered a gene in the brain called VGF, which is associated to a growth factor chemical involved in the development of new nerve cells. Research results indicate that this brain activation makes you happier and in a better mood. Your personal trainer knows the positive benefits of physical exercise.

Another study that your personal trainer may tell you about is one done in Germany. The German study involved participants walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes a day over a week and 3 day time duration. The result of the experiment was that at the end of that time period, the participants’ survey scores showed a remarkable decrease in depression. In fact, an idea for an alternative to standard medicinal antidepressants that scientists are currently researching is to find a drug that is similar to the effects like that of the VGF gene. But, your personal trainer knows that you don’t need a medical drug to make you happy, you just need to exercise regularly at sessions with your personal trainer.

Exercise clears the mind and optimizes the conditions for thinking and learning. The tips that your personal trainer gives you regarding your health are sometimes even easier to soak in by the end of your run.

The research results that your personal trainer is aware of is that
exercise increases the flow of blood to the part of the brain that is responsible for memory and learning, stimulating the creation of new brain cells.
