Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

The in-depth research and the effect of different exercises on various aspects of brain is really thought-provoking. The book also mentions what kind of activities to include in exercise and to what extent.

The basic fundamental thing is we have a brain because we have to move. Exercise naturally uses our body and brain they evolved to be used as.

Spark offers strong insights into how different forms of exercise—such as zero-hour workouts, maximum heart-rate training, and skill-based activities like aerobics and tennis—positively impact the brain. It clearly explains what aerobic and coordination-heavy exercises provide beyond traditional gym workouts or yoga. The science linking movement with learning, focus, and mental health is engaging and practical. However, after the first few chapters, the core ideas tend to repeat, making the book feel slightly stretched despite its valuable message.

Spark seems to be a successful attempt to enlighten about the benefits and necessity of exercise in life in concrete and direct terms in easy language. Thanks a lot.

Must read, especially for those who have always wanted to exercise but always struggled. When you know the science behind exercise, you wouldn't ever say that you don't have the time for it because exercising created more time than the time you invest in it.

this book is about excecise and brain. must read

Very good exposition about why you should do aerobic exercises at least two days in a week and some strengthening exercises not only to keep your body fit but also to keep your brain functioning effectively and improve your memory

I do feel the author drags on a bit too long discussing the same at certain parts. I am glad i read it. It provides an insight into how the human body works Foe every one who is curious about why excercise works.
