Can Exercise Make You Smarter?

Here, University of Geneva senior researcher and study lead author, Dr. Boris Cheval, joins Move host Dr. Andrew Miners to explore the connection between movement and cognition, and to suggest how you can train your brain to love working out— whether or not you have that genetic predisposition to exercise.
