Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

You spend hundreds to keep your body fit. Isn’t your mind worth a few bucks too?

For $7.95 a month ($39.95 for a full year), you can join MyBrainTrainer.com, “the world’s first virtual mental gymnasium.”

The site features interactive exercises–which measure reaction time in thousandths of a second–that allow you to track your results and compete against other members. Each exercise, requiring you to respond to a series of rapid stimuli, isolates a specific region of the brain, just as gym equipment works a particular muscle group.

After all, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
