How Weight Training Changes Your Brain

Weight training isn’t just good for your muscles, it’s good for your brain too. Angus and Graham discuss their reading on the topic, both have experiences of Alzheimer’s in their friends and family so it resonates.

Resistance exercise increases blood flow to the brain and stimulates the release of growth factors and muscle-derived signals called myokines, which support brain-cell health, neuroplasticity and communication between neurons.

Regular strength training has been associated with better memory, attention and executive function.___
