And their ability to shift and focus attention got significantly better.
So that gives a little bit of a guideline for low-fit people.
Two to three times a week can start to give you some of those cognitive changes.
But you don't look low-fit.
So let me answer the question you're about to ask me.
What about me?
I exercise pretty regularly.
And how much do I need?
So to answer that question, we went to another spin studio.
And we said, look, we're going to give you free classes.
You could exercise as much as you want in this space.
at this studio and go up to seven times a week.
And the control was just stay the same.
They were working out twice a week at the studio.
Yes, exactly.
And so what we found was basically every drop of sweat counted.
The more you exercise, the more change in your brain we noted, both your hippocampal function, prefrontal function, and mood.
If you were already getting benefit, you know, you're already going twice a week.
But the more you did, the more brain changes you got.
So that doesn't give the formula that I would like, but we are heading in that direction, which is part of one of the questions that I want to answer.
