For Weekly Digest #31, we pulled together 5 resources on exercise and learning. But, there are TONS of resources out there about exercise and learning. Plus, in January we know a lot of people are thinking about good habits for 2018, and many may have to do with studying and student learning as well as exercising and staying healthy. So, for this week's digest, 5 more resources on exercising and learning.. These resources aren't necessarily any better than the previous resources, just different to add to the collection! In particular, the first few resources in this digest discuss ADHD, exercise, and learning, in part because we know so many out there are interested in ADHD.
