Just Get Active

Just Get Active is a content provider for the Cognercise online platform. This combines mindful cognitive training with physical exercise to bolster ‘whole person’ performance health and wellbeing. It provides ready access via computer, tablet or phone to an expanding library of professionally produced content that is both age-specific and relevant.

The Cognercise team realises that the efficient use of the body and mind, as life-long ‘value-adding tools’ requires the knowledge and use of correct methods of practice. The repeated attempts to master Cognercise theories (i.e. strength, aerobic, flexibility, mindfulness) builds qualities, which both enhance positive life experiences and reduce the severity of negative ones. Cognercise Primary Health provides a non-competitive opportunity for children to learn, understand, and apply the necessary skills required for a long, productive, and positive life.

All Just Get Active content is proudly based on the Cognercise
Philosophy and Methodologies.
