I have been using this with my 3rd graders and they LOVE it! It wakes them up and they are much calmer and focused afterwards. I don't think of it as "brain" gym, but of course everyone knows that exercise and increased blood flow to the brain is never a bad thing. Kids that struggled with cross crawl exercises due to poor coordination before can now do them easily. So, who cares what the "research" says about brain gym. It is having positive benefits for my students and they enjoy it.
I did at school to the song "Happy" by Pharrell Williams when I was young. 1st verse: Ankle touch (in front) Chorus (instance 1): Marching 2nd verse: Step touch Chorus (instance 2): Marching Bridge (instance 1) Elbow to the knee (on part 1), then ankle touch (behind the body) Chorus (instance 3): Marching Bridge (instance 2) Bend and reach Chorus (instance 4): Marching Outro: Hook-up and breathing
Speaking as a person who has struggled with learning challenges throughout my entire life and have tried seemingly everything with limited results, I think Brain Gym rocks! I work out regularly, eat well, am an avid positive visualization & affirmation babbler.Then I got turned on to Brain Gym & it's like a light got switched on! I am more focused and energetic. When I start to feel "off" I do some BG now. Oh, & I haven't had to shell out a dime, because of these wonderful RUclips videos!
I like brain gym, I think it is a perfect compliment to Armis Armis board game is designed to provide a fast brain workout Some benefits of playing Armis: * Armis develops critical thinking skills, and provokes logical thinking, * Armis builds self-esteem, and inspires you to be inventive. * Armis spurs you to plan for and attain success. * Armis emboldens you to learn and understand complex matters easier and faster, * Armis boosts will-power * Armis triggers post-traumatic growth
maybe not this particular one but exerbreaks or brain gyms/brain breaks are great tools for helping the students get some physical activity/stay focused, etc. I'm sorry to hear that your experience was so negative, but as an education student I have felt much more rejuvinated after one of these activities. I definitely plan on using these in the classroom!
The bottom line is that all movement changes the brain. Specific movements have been found to create pathways that result in more efficient learning and activity. Dr's I personally know who have utilized various activities (and who don't have a huge "scientific" chip on their shoulder) know of its efficacy and add it to their toolbox of learning and stess reduction aids. And "anecdotal" does not mean it doesn't have credibility. That's really a narrow assumption, but thank you for checking.
You need to read the book. Brain Gym is founded in Neuroscience from a neuroscientist. Read the book, it may change your outlook. It is in depth, but also straight forward.
Oh my gosh, guys its five minutes. Who cares if it works or not. This is more exercise than most of you are currently doing, and it is only 5 min long. If it works for your brain, then great! If not, then oh well. But I dare anyone one of you on this RUclips website to find me some research that says exercise does not help you out mentally. Regardless if it is brain gym or not. Not to mention this is fantastic for after lunch to beat the afternoon slump, or to help wake up in the morning.
@ellopopit9, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This work out is meant for people trying to come back from some sort of brain injury. For ex: Stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain surgery for tumors. Doing these cross body exercises works both hemispheres of the brain thereby forcing them to communicate with one another.
Some of the best ways I personally know of improving the minds learning ability is to learn to think logically, use mnemonics to improve memory & imagination, mind mapping methods, study in short bursts of 20 mins & review regularly ... & good old meditation, by this I mean concentration exercises ... & last but not least a regular physical exercise routine. These things will do wonders. As for the above vid, seems a bit strange ?
...I remember having to do this daily in grade school... it was the aboslute most degrading and moronic thing we ever had to do. the looks of contempt for that gym teacher who showed it to us will never be forgottin. it was proof that the public schools would try anything to improve test scores, right beside making people practice simple math facts in detention... trust me none of us preformed any better by crossing our legs and caressing the collar bone,
It works and here my rationale -- As a special needs teacher, I can see the difference in my students ability (both cognitively and physically) when they can perform midline crossing movements as opposed to those who cannot! Even if you don't believe me, why not try it, it's quick and easy and it does help those with MCI!!!
Just learning how to do any of things without thinking is evidence that it works. People who do not workout will have some problems when the start out. Adding something simple like start on the left side [taking direction, listening, mind body connection, connecting each exercise and have people to remember and do all takes practice].
Cross crawl and variations help to connect both hemispheres of the brain. This stuff is golden. Look up Dorothea Basset for some wonderful work and explanations about Brain Gym.
This is on the right track, but it's just not complex enough. Do some kind of mental task at the same time, like saying the alphabet backward, or taking a word and using the last letter to start a new word, and make a chain of them.
Megan, I have an exceptional brain workout tool for your 3rd graders -- it's Armis. Armis is a high strategy board game, it's designed to provide a very fast brain workout, but you play at your own pace. Armis develops critical thinking skills. builds self-esteem, inspires you to be inventive. emboldens you to learn and understand complex matters easier and faster. The game is free online, and the physical game is free to all schools around the world. enjoy
Who ever this person is did some actual Brain Gym activities and then a lot of his own variations. Which is fine; it all was meant to activate both hemispheres. Also, one doesn't need to be recovering from any injury to benefit from cross lateral work. It helps integrate the mind and body for doing anything more effectively! Called Brain Gym because movement like this literally "grows" the brain. And not all Brain Gym activities are cross lateral; it's just all he did here. :)
Actually, there is copious research/info about Brain Gym programs used in schools, etc. worldwide, as well as article after article describing it's effectiveness with any number of sensory integration issues. The old whine about it not being "researched" is just a cop out for not looking - or DOING any! lol This is simply neural growth, integration and education. Some of those whiners have med or psych degrees and are in a great position to really contribute to this. (A few have!) O well...
Brain gym, the system that oxidises the brain, which is the process of rusting for those here who have actually studied any form of chemistry. They mean to say oxygenation which is the process of delivering oxygen to tissues around the body. We have already got a super efficient system for that, its called the respiratory system, not brain gym. Also the collective authors of this movement subscribe to the fallacy that there is no water in processed food, judge for yourself...
@rataretrodos For the science of how it works: you have obviously not read the book "The brain which changes itself" by Norman Dodge on neuroplasticity.
No, brain gym is not founded in Neuroscience. I don't have time to read a book about something that contradicts all science done on the subject. Anybody can write anything in a "book". Scientific articles are what we read. We know that there are major errors in scientific articles.But at least one tried to spot them.
The only material proof worth considering regarding Brain Gym are people's opinions and how they have perceived benefits through Brain Gym, although, for whatever reason, nobody can explain it scientifically. Check their website, even they will tell you they're not sure. However, it has been suggested that Brain Gym is effective due to the fact that exercise breaks are beneficial to students, of course this can be done w/o Brain Gym and it's vast amounts of nonsense science.
hello! is the effect of brain gym the supporting of any brain activity no matter at what time of the day/night or has it a sort of 'waking-you-up-effect'? I wonder if I can do brain gym before going to bed or should I do it in the morning right before studying? and what if I do meditation in the morning and then study: is brain gym better before meditation or afterwards (of course BEFORE sitting down to study)? has anyone any experience with this? thank you!
@Evyllity. Good lord...what a belligerent question! Is that how you approach everything you are unfamiliar with? Sorry, but if you are too lazy to find some of the research papers (for starters) on the parent site, or to contact schools (Google) who have implemented entire BG programs successfully around the world, or borrow/buy books written by PhD's, etc who have used BG for years, (Amazon) then I can't help you. I won't do your work for you, nor further respond to an abusive attitude.
"Alright boys and girls"...? Where are they? No this is not very kid friendly. You have to have kids in the vid or it is just not interesting for children. Also, make it fun! This is great stuff but the presentation reminds me of a business exercise routine... Smile and liven it up!!!
wow, we love "avid positive visualization & affirmation babbler[s]" if you play and enjoy Armis we would like to offer you $30 to review the game from your unique perspective.
Sorry but it is kind of funny. It is basic physical activity, we all had done it during our childhood. Now it has some long fancy names that sound scientific and all of a sudden, you have to pay for the course. Back to basic for $$$. Good Lord
Please, teachers, please accept that neuroscientists know more about the brain than you do. And what do neuroscientists think of brain gym ? That it's the crazyest and stupidest exercise routine ever devised.
hello :) Let me introduce myself. My name is Dwi, I'm a nursing student. May I ask your contact ? and may I use this video about brain gym as a tool in my research ? thank you
This particular mind training game “nonu amazing only” (Google it) entertains me a lot! They are really challenging and I wish playing these kinds of games help boost my memory and concentration. Crazy matter was, the whole family ended up enjoying this game, and moving my mobile phone around!
+The Xtreme Vocaloid In theory, the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body while the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body. So by doing the above exercise what they are attempting to do is activate both sides of the brain together. Don't know whether it works because there's no way we can prove it without proper equipment.
Great activities for what they are, just activities. Brain Gym has no scientific proof that these activities work!!! Their research is not really out there. There is no proof! When I was doing my research for my dissertation I continued to contact them to get some of their research, or where I could go to get it and they didn't have any. Great activities but false claims.
well, my OT uses brain gym on my children and it makes a world of difference. I don't think the 11 mo old knew what placebo meant when he started making progress across the board in gross motor, fine motor, speech, eating, and play within a week of starting brain gym
This mind training game “nonu amazing only” (Google it) entertains me a lot! My focus and ability to remember could enhance by taking part in these games since they`re quite tricky. Surprising matter was, the whole household ended up having fun with this game, and passing my mobile phone around!

Lost abt 20 pounds!! Thank u for sharing!!!
