The importance of exercise
Given the abundant research on exercise, cognition, wellbeing, and academic performance, for example in this article on incorporating exercise breaks during lectures, as well as this one on walking and creative thinking, consider incorporating movement breaks into your in-person or online lectures
Feel free to experiment with your students with short movement breaks of 3, 6 or 9 minutes. You may be surprised at how good they (and you) feel after a quick break together!
In the TEDx talk, A key Ingredient in the Student Resilience Recipe, Joanne Dominico, a learning strategist at Centennial College, proposes a creative way to enhance learning by combining fitness and studying.
