A new study says working out is not only good for your body but also your brain.
An aerobic workout is more beneficial than you might think. It is now credited with helping to boost brain power.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh tested two groups of female monkeys.
One group ran on a treadmill for one hour each day, five days per week, for five months.
And the other - remain sedentary.
Their findings -- monkeys who exercised regularly at an intensity that would improve a human's fitness actually boosted their learning power and had greater blood volume to their brains.
Researchers say the same results can be found in humans - because of our close physiology to monkeys.
The findings are in the journal Neuroscience.
