Brains grow on it

Exercise raises BDNF, the protein behind learning and memory. The sharpest hour of your day follows the effort.

The core is a brace

The trunk's job is to resist movement, not create it. That is why planks and carries beat sit-ups for most people.

Balance goes early

Standing balance declines from midlife unless it is challenged. Single-leg work is the cheapest insurance there is.

How to run it

  1. Round 1 is the warm-up: 70% effort, easy breathing, every rep clean.
  2. Round 2 is the score round: beat your Round 1 number on every cardio move.
  3. Cardio = clean reps in 60 seconds. Write the number. Tomorrow you beat it.
  4. Can't finish the strength set? Take the easier version — never a worse rep.
