What’s It All About?

It’s about

keeping your

brain ( and

your memory)

‘Fit For Life’

We know that:

• our brains can be stimulated throughout life

• the best way to keep our brains stimulated and

make ‘new connections’, is through

progressive, on-going new learning

• when we keep our brains active and

stimulated, this also assists our memory

function – especially our short term memory.

• as well as an active lifestyle, with lots of new

learning, there are also simple, practical

exercises we can engage in to assist our

memory function. Think of it as a ‘Buy One..Get

One Free’ This is where the BrainFit Gym Comes In
