Rise & Grind Morning Workouts!!! It’s Bigger than Football!!! 🧠
May 20
Something I noticed when I visited China was public schools always started their days off with a run.
A school in Naperville, Illinois, did an experiment on this and called it "Zero Hour".
Before school, students would hit the gym at 7am and push their heart rates to 80% of their max. Then went on to do class.
The result? Reading scores doubled. Math scores jumped 20x.
On an international test, Naperville 8th graders finished 1st in science (beating Singapore) and 6th in math globally.
Some of my entrepreneur clients swear by doing cardio in the morning. They say it keeps their brain sharp. I don't disagree.
Cardio isn't just for your heart. It's brain fuel.
Exhaust the body to sharpen the mind.
