When Jim Citrin at “Yahoo! Finance” did a survey among the 20 CEOs regarding their daily life routines, he found some similarities among all of them. One of the things that almost every CEO had in his daily routine was regular workout sessions in the early morning.<\/p>\n

\u00d4\u00c7\u00a3I make sure I workout at least three times a week \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 usually the first when I wake up.\u00d4\u00c7\u00d8 said Mark Zuckerberg in one of the Q&A sessions on Facebook. According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple CEO Tim Cook wakes up at 5 am daily to get to the gym several times a week. Elon Musk despite working for 100 hours in a week finds time to squeeze in cardio workout twice a week, reports Auto Bild TV.<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered why exercise is so important that even such top execs manage to fit in workout sessions in their busy schedule? You might say because it gives them the perfect shape and keeps them fit, right? But there are much more subtle benefits of workouts. Let\u00d4\u00c7\u00d6s talk about them first.<\/p>\n

Wendy Suzuki \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 a neuroscientist \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 talks about three major benefits of exercise in her TED talk.<\/a> \u00d4\u00c7\u00a3A single workout session will have immediate effects on your brain. It will increase the levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline. This is going to improve your mood and make you feel better immediately.\u00d4\u00c7\u00d8 she says. Explaining further she says, \u00d4\u00c7\u00a3Workout session will produce brand new cells that increase the volume of hippocampus which results into improved long term memory\u00d4\u00c7\u00d8.<\/p>\n

Exercise has direct effects on prefrontal cortex of our brains. Due to workouts, its volume also increases which immediately results in better focus, attention and decision making capability. These are immediate benefits which means you do a single workout session now and you will get these healthy benefits right after that.<\/p>\n

Workouts make hippocampus and prefrontal cortex stronger and bigger which makes us almost immune to diseases like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\n

Robin Sharma \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 author of \u00d4\u00c7\u00a3The Leader Who Had No Title\u00d4\u00c7\u00d8 \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 says will power is like a muscle, the more you practice it, the stronger it becomes.
