The Movement Mornings Interview - Challenge Your Brain Exercises

Episode Summary

In this first episode of Movement Mornings, we're honored to speak with Stephen Jepson from Never Leave the Playground. I get younger every year, and it's not just a figure of speech – my secret lies in challenging both sides of my brain daily through play and movement.

Let's Head to the Playground!

We've got 85-year-old energy here! You might be wondering how someone with so much experience and enthusiasm can stay young at heart. The answer is simple: never leave the playground. I've spent years researching and documenting my theories on lifetime fitness, and it all comes down to one thing – movement.

Challenge Your Brain

I know what you're thinking: "Challenge both sides of your brain — every single day." That's exactly right! Our brains are wired to respond to novelty and challenge. By incorporating play and movement into our daily routine, we can keep our minds sharp and our bodies active. And it's not just about physical exercise – mental stimulation is just as important.

Play Your Way to Better Health

You don't have to believe me when I say I'm getting younger every year – but my students at the University of Central Florida will attest to my boundless energy! As an award-winning potter and former professor, I've seen firsthand the benefits of incorporating movement into daily life. And it's not just about physical health – mental clarity and focus are just as important.
