Feel sharper instantly with this three-minute routine.

Confession: Sometimes, we can barely recall which day of the week it is. And the location of our keys? Forget about it!

We chalked it up to getting older, but learned there's a way to fight back and feel smarter.

Superbrain Yoga is a series of moves that are supposed to stimulate brain activity and boost mental energy. "Within a few minutes, you feel more alert and clearer," says Stephen Co, who helped introduce the practice to the United States. "In kids, it improves comprehension. In adults, it helps with memory and cognitive decline. And it takes less than five minutes a day."

We were skeptical until we watched this news report about the practice's brain benefits. We tried it on a crazy-busy afternoon and instantly felt more energized and focused. The mental lift lasted well into the following day, despite our lack of sleep.
