Mindfulness Corner Exercise to Keep Your Brain Fit Exercise to improve your mood, memory, and concentration. When you are working out, you are not only getting your body into shape, but your mind as well. Getting in shape does not require an expensive gym membership or purchasing hundreds of dollars of exercise equipment. Activities such as walking, running, jumping rope, and doing old-fashioned calisthenics (think jumping jacks; push-ups; sit-ups) are free and you can do them at home or in your neighborhood.

There are thousands of workout videos on YouTube suitable for beginners, as well as for those who exercise faithfully. Below are a few YouTube workouts to consider. Happy Exercising!
