Exercises for everyday brain coordination

Your brain has two major hemispheres, or halves, that control roughly the opposite side of the body. (for many body systems)

Exercising a motion, action, pattern creates stronger neural loops that allow you to react inside of these loops.  For example, most of us cannot image attempting to hit a 100mph fastball in baseball.  But then again, most of us have not practiced swinging a bat thousands upon thousands of times.  If we did, our reaction time would become larger and larger as we got more and more fluent in the motion.

A sizable majority of people are single hand dominant, and therefore are single hemisphere brain dominant in hand motions.

As we age, brain activation can slow down if multiple patterns of thoughts are not consistently engaged.
Hence why people actively do brain-teasing games and activities to "keep their mind sharp".

Cross-pattern exercises are excellent ways to incorporate whole brain activation, such as crawling, climbing, or balancing.  In fact, there are daily things we all can to do actively engage both sides of our brains in such a fashion that we will retain optimal cross-coordination in our brain.  Here are a few suggestions, see what else you can think of.
~ Stand on one foot while brushing your teeth with the non-dominant hand.  Switch sides regularly.
~ Eat with a fork with the non-dominant hand.
~ Swing a racket/club with the non-dominant hand.
~ Switch your mouse to the non-dominant hand.
~ Use a shovel with your non-dominant foot.
~ Start going up the steps with the non-dominant foot.
~ Use caution, and use your non-dominant foot to drive.

These activities, and more will increase the activation of both hemispheres of the brain in multiple regions, and improve many other coordination-based activities like balance, spatial awareness, and sensation of your body in space.

Now that you know, will you do some of these?
