Total Memory Workout - 8 Easy Steps to Maximum Memory

Total Memory Workout - 8 Easy Steps to Maximum Memory

Author: Cynthia R. Green

Total Memory Workout allows you to benefit from this unique training just as if you
were working with me personally or attending one of my seminars. Drawing on my
expertise as a memory specialist, I will teach you:
How memory works — and how it doesn’t.
How factors in your daily lifestyle, such as fatigue, medications, and stress, can
lower your memory potential, along with advice on how to minimize their impact.
The pros and cons of current medical interventions for memory improvement,
including hormone replacement therapy, vitamin supplementation, and herbal
remedies.
The best way to use memory tools, such as appointment books, calendars, and
checklists, so they really work for you.
Practical techniques for remembering information that you read in books or
newspapers, or see in shows or movies.
Simple steps you can take to boost your brainpower in remembering names.
You will find that Total Memory Workout is very different from other books on
memory. What makes this book unique? After all, memory improvement programs have
been around for many years. Other memory experts teach difficult, cumbersome
techniques for people who want “super” memories. Such complex memory systems can
be effective, but they require too much time to master and use to be of interest to the
average person. To tell you the truth, I rarely meet people who want to remember the
names of everyone in a crowd of two hundred people. In other words, such methods can
work, but can they really work for you?
Total Memory Workout uses a memory wellness approach. You will learn that memory
is not merely an intellectual skill to be manipulated, but rather an integral part of
ourselves, affected by many aspects of our daily lives. This book will teach you all about
memory, from the basics of how we acquire and remember information to what
elements in our lifestyles can lower memory potential. You will be trained in memory
techniques that are easy to learn and that you can really use. I will teach you simple
methods that you can instantly fit into your lifestyle and adopt as good memory habits
to enhance your memory effectiveness. Several alternative techniques will be offered in
the program’s steps, so that you can find the ones that work best for you. There is no
single right way or best way to improve your memory. We all need to find out what
works for us and — most importantly — use it.

The Best Way to Use This Book

Years of teaching folks how to remember better has given me some experience in the
best way to approach memory improvement. Here’s some advice for getting the most
out of this program:
• Read each step. Total Memory Workout is divided into eight steps, or lessons. Read one
step at a time. While I recommend going through them in order, it is possible to skip
around to particular topics of interest. These steps build on each other, but they are also
self-contained. So, if you have a dinner party next week and want to rev up your recall
for names, go right ahead to Step 7, “Remember the People You Meet.”
• Focus on one step per week. You will get the most out of this book by doing one step
per week. This will give you time to master and practice your new memory habits. Also,
pacing yourself in learning information gives your brain time to consolidate it. Like a
good exercise regimen or a good diet, this program works best when you incorporate
these techniques into your daily routine and really use them.
• Take the quizzes. At the end of each step is a short quiz. Make sure you do the quizzes
so you can see how much you remember!
• Do the Memorcises. Each lesson is followed by exercises, or what I call “Memorcises.”
The Memorcises give you a chance to practice what you have been taught. It is very
important that you do the Memorcises. You cannot fully benefit from this program if you
do not use the methods taught here. Making the work personal is especially important,
since my approach gives you many ways to improve your memory fitness, and with that
freedom comes the responsibility of determining your own private memory prescription.
The Memorcises allow you to “test-drive” the techniques and figure out how to make this
program work for you.
• Relax and enjoy it. This is the most important thing you can do to benefit from this
unique training program. Having fun while you train your brain will make it easier to
achieve maximum memory fitness.
