How It Works

Here's How, Together,

We Make a Difference

Join the Movement
Make a Difference
Make a Donation

Scientific Studies prove that at 60%-70% of an individual’s heartrate for 30 minutes, the brain creates the necessary neurochemicals such as BDNF, serotonin, glutamine, norepinephrine, dopamine, etc. And as important, at this level of prolonged vigorous exercise, the brain creates new brain cells! But there’s a catch, for those new brain cells to survive, they must connect by way of problem-solving or new information. 

This makes the school setting the perfect symbiotic relationship of creation and connection of new brain cells!
