Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain

Reviewed by Ashley VonHatten- Book Worm


If ever you needed the motivation to work out then this is your book--proving that exercise not only makes you feel good, but may actually make you smarter!  While I'm not usually one to read non-fiction, this book is an entertaining look into exercise and the transformative effects on the brain--detailing amazing case studies (such as the revolutionary fitness program in Naperville, Illinois, which has put this school district of 19,000 kids first in the world of science test scores).  Since finishing this book last week, I have been clocking daily thirty minute cardio sessions and even invested in a heart rate monitor (as the author recommends) to make sure that I am working out to my greatest capacity, and thus receiving all the wonderful benefits.

Now all I need is the Tracy Anderson Mat DVD and you will be able to bounce quarters off my behind!
