Virtually everyone beyond a certain age (getting lower by the day) is worried about brain fitness, and looking for ways to keep an active mind while aging well. Wiser Now approaches brain exercises with three words:

• Ha-ha
• Ah-ha
• Aaaahhh

We want people who subscribe to Brain Aerobics Weekly to first of all laugh and have fun, because relaxed learners learn more. Plus, laughter brings oxygen to the brain to literally "freshen" our thinking. That's the ha-ha. Second, we want to foster curiosity so subscribers learn new information - that's the ah-ha. Third, we want them to get lost in the pleasure of doing something they really enjoy. That's the aaaahhh.

Each edition of Brain Aerobics Weekly is 10 pages long and offers five types of brain exercises for adults:

• Trivia quiz (Answers provided at the end of the quiz)
• Imaginative/reminiscence activity
• Read and discuss topic (Questions provided)
• Word puzzle (Answers provided at the end of the game)
• Potpourri (short tidbits of a variety of the above and various extras)
