Brain Gym is a series of 26 physical activities that, although they were originally designed to help children and adults overcome learning disabilities, have the capacity to benefit any person that practices them. The exercises aid the development of neurological connections in the brain that are essential for learning and improve performance in all areas: intellectual, creative, athletic, and personal. They have been taught to children, adults, and elderly people to improve concentration, memory, reading ability, writing skills, sports, and physical health.
