New research suggests that high intensity training improves cognitive functions. The report below to highlights many advantages of high intensity training:
This new research is focused on unique aspects however.
High impact running improves learning
As stated by researchers:
We found that vocabulary learning was 20 percent faster after intense physical exercise as compared to the other two conditions (low impact aerobic running or rest). This condition (high intensity) also elicited the strongest increases in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and catecholamine levels.
As you can see, there are more than physical advantages to high intensity training protocols!

I'm always excited to have the girls in: Anne, Sid, and Ginette. All three always pushing right to the end, and listening intently to the direction given them.
Anne started us off with yesterday's WOD of super heavy push press/ deadlifts/ and pull ups. As always she kept going past exhaustion and because of this, ended up with the most number of rounds for females for this WOD. Congratulations Anne. It was a monstrous effort today and well worth a couple of days rest.
Sid was in after a big session yesterday and she was the first to kick off todays WOD: 3 minutes of step ups, 50 sit ups and 50 back extensions. Due to yesterdays heavy back work we opted for a different last exercise but still just as painful. She soldiered through the three rounds, completing her last of a full weeks workouts. See you next week Sid. Make sure you get a massage to loosen those gradually tightening muscles. AND THIS GOES FOR EVERYONE. The best form of relaxation is a massage. Nice and firm!
Ginette also in the morning. It was a terrific effort again. Always welcoming any thing thrown at her, she Climbed the mountainof steps at full steam ahead, blaster her abs on all 50 rep sit ups and burned her back muscles on the extensions. Your great form and balance will only lead to more exact results and better efficiency at gaining them. Go for it Ginette.
And to finish the morning - dynamic duo on their third session this week. Never complaining and always "on time" they welcomed a reprieve from the heavy weights we have been lifting lately but were still challenged by the step ups and back extensions as everyone was. They finished in a great time of 23minutes and really had a solid session, non-stop and were rewarded at the end by a visit from my delicious and delectable daughter, Ava. Ava said, " they both looked pumped daddy!" "Yes dear," replied daddy, "they workout at GarageGYM."
