Have you ever heard of the cycle of history?
“Hard Times make Strong Men

Good Times make Weak Men
Weak Men make Hard Times”
What if parents could find a way to break the cycle so that Good Times make BETTER MEN AND WOMEN? What if the cycle of history could be broken and things could get better and better?

“If everyone knew that exercise worked as well as Zoloft, I think we could put a real dent in the disease.” Dr. John Ratey
Depression is an erosion of connections — in your life as well as between your brain cells, according to Dr. John Ratey, a practicing psychiatrist, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, and author of seven books on brain functioning including SPARK, The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain.

"I'm pretty stressed out today"
Oh yeah? What's got you stressed?
Kids, job, decisions, family, and random acts of entropy -- adulting is hard and the 2nd law of thermodynamics is working!
So what to do?
What if I told you that exercise can change the structure and function of your brain so that you can HANDLE THE STRESS BETTER.
AND the effects are lasting?
Would that motivate you?
