The Super Bowl conjures images of rabid sports fans, a day of sitting in front of the television and eating unhealthy snacks, a fun time with family and friends- but it’s generally not considered a day that has any redeeming qualities for our brain fitness.
Here’s how Brain Fitness Works
Let our coach show you the way. Launch this animation to learn how CogniFit Personal Coach works by providing you a personalized online brain training program that exercises 14 key cognitive abilities.
Please be patient. It may take a couple of minutes for the animation to load and begin playing after you click on the start button.
How It Works
Now that you’ve seen an introduction to some of the science behind CogniFit Personal Coach, here’s an outline of what will happen after you begin the program:
- First, you take the initial assessment to measure your baseline profile across the 14 key cognitive abilities.
- Then you go online and complete your first 20-minute training session that has been created for you based on your assessment. Below is an example of the chart you will see after you have taken the assessment and started training. The blue bars show the improvement you have achieved over your Baseline Assessment performance. The green bars show the new goals for your next cycle of training. The percentages next to the bar show the level of improvement you should expect to see by the end of the next training cycle, as compared to your Baseline Assessment performance.
- For best results and maximum improvement, we recommend that you train 3 times per week, with at least one day of rest between training sessions.
- As you progress through a cycle of 24 training sessions, CogniFit Personal Coach creates a customized training regimen that’s based on your previous session. Below is an example of the Session Chart, which shows you exactly where you are in your training cycle:
- During each training session, your Personal Coach offers feedback and encouragement along the way. The exercises regimen adjusts to reflect your progress and to make sure that you’re training at optimum efficiency.
- Following each session, a record of your progress is created and saved for your reference.
- After you have finished a training cycle of 24 sessions, you will receive a complete assessment of the progress you’ve made. This assessment also establishes a new set of personal training goals for your next cycle.
