MYQ is a brain training system. It will help boost your mental performance by exercising your gray matter. So get ready to ﬂex those neurons and tone those synapses with the mini gym that ﬁts right in the palm of your hand!

THE WORKOUT PROGRAM Every day for 10 minutes, test yourself by playing MYQ. The theory is that,

like a muscle, the brain beneﬁts from exercise and stimulation. MYQ will track your progress for 30 days at a time, so you can see how much your mental agility improves. Check your progress daily, and try to beat your previous scores!

THE WORKOUT ROUTINE The 10 games are specially designed to improve certain Brain Areas:
