2:40 Neuroplasticity - how the brain can grow, and its job is to grow. If our nerve cells aren't growing, then we're not learning - and then they're eroding. 6:19 Fit kids scored 2x as well on academic tests as their unfit peers. 9:40 Doing burpees throughout the day (incidental training) for optimization. 10:00 Standing desks are a way to move around a little bit. 11:00 "Exercise is like taking a little bit of Prozac, and a little bit of Riddalin." It boosts our mood and improves our focus. 19:00 Moderate to vigorous activity for 20 minutes 3x-4x a week. OUTDOORS ideal. 21:35 Hunter-gatherer is running away from the big cats. 23:00 Exercise is one of the best ways of raising dopamine in your system. 25:30 Walking = 30% increase in creativity. Virgin / Richard Branson doesn't have chairs in their meeting rooms, and has walking meetings (treating his ADHD). It's a flashback to the Greeks - Plato and Aristotle. 27:14 STAND UP. Sitting is the new smoking. Turns your brain on 7-10% more than when you're sitting.
