Start work with a bang

If you want to get the working week off to a super start, trade in your double espresso for a short, sharp workout. According to Dr Brockis, a sweat sesh is the best way to kick off a productive week. “If you find yourself a little less than supercharged to start your Monday, a 15-minute bout of exercise is the best workout for your brain,” she says. “It primes us to pay attention and function better for the rest of the day. It’s more than just boosting blood to your brain to supply it with more oxygen and nutrients, it boosts endorphins so we feel better, burns off some stress hormones and increases the release of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), essential for neuronal health and maintenance.” Our new fave mantra? Never miss a Monday workout.
