Now let's talk about exercise intensity. It refers to the amount of effort you exert when exercising. There are several ways to estimate the amount of effort you're exerting while exercising but most of them require a doctorate degree to understand and specialized equipment to estimate. Fortunately, there's a very simple but fairly accurate way to determine your exercise intensity. It's called the "talk test." And here's how to use it to determine the intensity level at which you're exercising so you can adjust accordingly if needed.

Exercise for 1 or 2 minutes. Then, try talking as if you're having a conversation with somebody. If you're able to talk normally and with no effort or strain at all as if you're catching up with a long lost pal over coffee, that's mild or light intensity. If you're talking as if you can hardly say anything and you have to literally catch your breath just to stay conscious, you're exercising at a high-intensity level. If you're able to still carry a conversation but with some breathing strain, that's moderate intensity. That's the level you should go for. If your exercise intensity's light, speed up your movement, e.g., run or walk faster. If high intensity, slow it down.

So that's it! Aerobic exercise at moderate intensity for a minimum of 30 minutes straight for at least 3 times weekly. That's all you need for optimal brain health and mental and cognitive performance.
