“I promise I will hit the gym way more often, get in shape and never eat bad stuff again.” By February, about 80% of the new year’s members at the local gyms have fallen away. But it’s easier to keep your brain cells in good shape - so try this cool site I’ve been hanging out at.

It’s Lumosity. There are some pretty cool game/workouts to use everyday and I’ve done it for about a month. I’ll tell you, there’s a fee attached - a small one - but Lumosity offers a free trial. I guess the people who developed this site and did the research deserve compensation, just as I require compensation for the writing I do or you get paid for the work you do.

The site sets up a program for you, just as your physical trainer might. Each day, when you login, a set of half a dozen games comes up and you work them one at a time. Each takes about 3 minutes or so. The entire set is well under 20 minutes - a nice break from real life.

The games, or tasks, work out memory skills, retention, attention, thinking speed and others. There are reports on Lumosity that people are finding they can remember more and retrieve info from their brains more quickly.
