X-Train Your Brain: Level 1: Basic Warm Up: Putting Your Left and Right Brain to the Test to Enhance Alertness and Mental Agility (The Brain Works) - Paperback

X-Train Your Brain is a brain-exercise program designed by Corinne L. Gediman and Dr. Francis M. Crinella, two experts in the field of brain function and fitness. Each book in this series works on the proven principle that mental muscle, much like physical muscle, can be gained and maintained through an exercise regimen. First, you'll take a brain assessment to see which side of your brain -- right or left -- is more dominant and which side needs to be strengthened. Then, you'll start the X-Train program, which parallels a physical workout routine at your gym. This volume is Level 1: Basic Warm-Up, whch helps you begin to exercise unused muscles. Just as athletes achieve peak physical performance through cross-training, so, too, do brain athletes. Cross-training your brain makes perfect sense given the brain's own natural anatomy. In Level 1 of X-Train Your Brain: Basic Warm-Up, you'll do more than 85 exercises to enhance the left brain's skills in verbal abilities, logic, and linear problem solving, as well as the right brain's skills in visual perception, spatial relationships, and creative problem solving. By doing this cross-training you will get a whole-brain workout that will keep you alert and prevent memory loss and sluggish thinking.
