If our body needs exercise to stay in shape, so does the brain. EXERCISE can pack in a lot of fun, besides being good for the body and brain. At a recent Brain Gym vs Dementia talk and exercise session, the enthusiastic crowd swayed, clapped and sang in sync with Brain Gym songs such as Tony Chestnut, Apple Pie and Blueberry Pie.
“We’re going to make the best apple pie ... knee, shoulder, clap hands,” coaxed Goh Siew Siew, an international certified instructor of Brain Gym. The exercise involves touching the knees with your hands, then touching your shoulders and bringing your hands together in a clap.
