Another Train-Your-Brain Option: BrainReady

It’s a blog, it’s a workbook, it’s a podcast…. it’s BrainReady!

I hadn’t run across these folks before, and at first glance, I can’t seem to find their qualifications or a contact link (I know.. pot.. kettle… black)

Still, their ideas seem sound enough, and they have a few interesting offerings.

Brainflex is workbook with a month’s worth of worksheets, each worksheet filled with simple mental exercises meant to train your brain in a variety of ways. Three of the worksheets are available for free on the site, and they do look flexible enough to be useful. There are also two books of challenge exercises available.

Braincasts is their series of free podcasts, offering information and training exercises of a wide variety. The auditory part is a good switch up from the visual/reading exercises we see most often. Maybe it’s because I’m sick, but the exercises do speed past pretty quickly, and could be frustrating if you don’t keep the pause button handy. (This is one of the draw backs of a training program that can’t respond to your input)

Anyone know who these folks are? Check it out, and let me know what you think, please.

Now I’m off to find some chicken soup.
