According to a great article in USA Today called “Exercise Builds Strong Brains Too” physical fitness can make your kids smarter. A new study done in the pediatrics department at the University of Georgia reports that children who play rigorously for twenty to forty minutes a day may have better organizational skills and also may be better at mathematics.  A study was done on a group of overweight children and it was found that those who exercised every day scored an average of 4 more points on cognitive tests. This is a good argument for keeping gymnastics and other physical fitness programs mandatory in schools and universities.
