Well, this is the fun part of participating in a new field: to try and predict, and contribute to, the Future. We'll see what unexpected combinations we see with physical + mental exercise! Enjoy the weekend Thank you Larry. Well, this is the fun part of participating in a new field: to try and predict, and contribute to, the Future.

I see potential synergies of physical exercise followed by "brain training" sessions. Great article! Hi Alvaro

I enjoyed your look into the Crystal Ball of what form brain health programs will assume in the future. I see potential synergies of physical exercise followed by “brain training” sessions.

Great article!

Thanks! Thank you, lpalmer. can you be a bit more specific on what you mean?

These are totally different functions. Good article. Just a reminder: brain growth/development requires different action/technique than brain operation/efficiency.

Brian, indeed, time to trailblaze! I encourage you to look not only into meditation, but also a variety of software and biofeedback programs, to provide a more complete "mental workout", tailored to the needs of different individuals. Let us know how it goes! Thank you, Jenny and Brian.

As the Fitness Director of a Los Angeles-based health club, and as a veteran meditator, I have long been fascinated with the possibility of integrating physical and mental fitness. Of course, the Buddhists and yogis have been doing this for thousands of years. Now it's time to tailor it to the "western mind"! I am currently working on a program to integrate both into a 60 minute personal training session using scientific modalities. The fitness side is easy - the brain portion is more challenging for all the reasons Alvaro illuminated. Time to trailblaze! What a terrific article.

Different programs will flex different mental muscles much as different machines at a gym build different muscle groups.
