Do you love your brain? I love mine. My ability to think clearly, problem solve, and come up with creative solutions is very much part of who I am, and without those abilities I would feel lost.
Dr. John Medina who wrote the book Brain Rules has a talk up on Youtube, and he says that with only 20 minutes of exercise three times per week, we can preserve the "executive function" (Problem solving, Emotional Control) of our brain well into old age.

They can even show how problem solving gets better once people have been on a mild exercise program for just a few months. Makes you think twice about the importance of work/life balance right?
For both you and your staff, a healthy body means a smarter brain. Let's get moving.
