Meditate Awake

Different intensity of exercise has a different effect on the brain. Extensive research over the course of decades has shown that physical exercise causes functional and structural changes in the human brain — which massively benefit cognitive function and overall wellbeing. But a relatively new discovery by Chang and Etnier illuminates an interesting difference. High intensity exercise increases the speed of information processing — so you can absorb and interpret external input faster, in the short term. And moderate intensity exercise improves the performance of memory and cognitive flexibility; allowing you to store and recall memories more easily.
