Academics and Exercise

Whether you are a student or the parent of a student, you likely have one thing on your mind as the new school year begins: academic performance. From kindergarteners to graduate level college students, concentration and learning are critical and directly related to how successful the year is and how bright the future looks career wise.

You may be wondering what academic performance has to do with a fitness blog.

The answer? Everything. The research (1, 2, 3) is conclusive: physical exercise directly impacts how well a student does academically.

Consistent, daily exercise results in significantly improved concentration, learning and test scores.

And all it took was 20 minutes of exercise each morning.

If you are a student, a parent of a student or even a teacher, exercise should be a top priority. To neglect it is to sabotage potential and open the door for behavioral problems.

There are many ways to get a good workout in.

Resist the urge to neglect exercise in order to spend more time with the books. Your study time will be much more productive if you feed your brain with exercise!

And if you're an adult, join us for an awesome event like a charity fundraiser, a group fitness class, or a personal training session and reap some of these amazing benefits for yourself. Check out our event schedule below to see what we have going on at Pittsburgh FIT
