Brain-training games are new exercise craze
Louis spent countless hours on Lumosity, a brain-training program from Lumos Labs that includes more than 35 games and exercises aimed at increasing alertness, sharpening memory skills, improving concentration and thinking faster.
The boxer says he improved his reaction times. “Every little moment matters,” Louis says.
Louis is part of a new club that takes exercise for the brain every bit as seriously as exercise for the body. It’s a growing movement that’s swept up 15 million users of Lumosity. Smaller rivals such as Posit Science and MindSparke are also vying in this arena.
San Francisco-based Lumos Labs’ Lumosity attracted $32.5 million in a third round of venture-capital funding in June.
