Optimal wellness and high performance start with small, sustainable habits. And the science backs it up: a recent study showed that adults aged 60+ who followed a simple walking routine for one year reversed brain aging by up to two years and significantly improved their memory.
But here’s the secret: movement alone isn’t enough.
Lasting change happens when you combine smart physical activity with burnout prevention strategies, mindset coaching, and personalized wellness planning.
The Science Behind Brain-Boosting Movement
Participants began walking just 10 minutes per day, gradually increasing by 5-minute increments weekly until reaching 40 minutes by week 7. They maintained that 40-minute routine for the rest of the year, walking at a target heart rate zone of 50–75% of their max reserve.
The outcome?
Increased hippocampal volume – the region of the brain responsible for memory and learning
Reversed brain aging by up to two years
Improved spatial memory and cognitive performance
Meanwhile, the control group—who only performed stretching and toning exercises—continued to experience brain shrinkage, as expected with aging.
