What&#8217;s that? Well, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/bluefit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BLUEf!t<\/a> is a great thing. Sports and fitness in the fresh air, by the sea and in the mountains. Additionally, there&#8217;s healthy food and soothing relaxation. A holistic thing, you might say. You can train your body in a group or individually, in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/bluefit-camp-special\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">functional training<\/a> and on your bike during <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/mountainbiken-in-marmaris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mountain bike<\/a> tours. Afterwards, you can enjoy a regenerating <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wellness-tuerkei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BLUEf!t massage<\/a> in the spa, and during meals you can provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to start the next training session. It&#8217;s not only the body that recovers, but also the soul. But somehow there&#8217;s still something missing to round things out.<\/p>\n<p>After some research, I come across the missing link. What are we actually doing for our brains? Everyone has one, but only a few exercise it and push it to its limit regularly, even though it&#8217;s so important. Wouldn&#8217;t it make sense if you could also train your brain with our help? I pick up the phone and a fantastic journey begins.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-light-blue ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e8b0d437d96\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69e8b0d437d96\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/brain-kinetics\/#Our_Brains_Are_Changeable\" >Our Brains Are Changeable<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/brain-kinetics\/#The_Connections_the_Thing\" >The Connection&#8217;s the Thing<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/brain-kinetics\/#But_how_does_that_work\" >But how does that work?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/brain-kinetics\/#Brain_Kinetics_Is_Fun\" >Brain Kinetics Is Fun<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/brain-kinetics\/#Brain_Kinetics_at_TUI_BLUE\" >Brain Kinetics at TUI BLUE<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Brains_Are_Changeable\"><\/span>Our Brains Are Changeable<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A few days later, I meet Oliver in Crailsheim and let myself be whisked away into the world of brain kinetics. When he speaks, I see the gleam in his eye and I listen with interest to his explanations.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We humans have the ability to change habits, patterns, and entrenched behaviours. So we can also change our conduct and personality. Because everything is ultimately based on neural connections in the brain, full-body brain kinetic training establishes a foundation for change. Because movement is the basis and the key to brain development and learning. And nothing works without our brains!&#8221; That sounds logical and I&#8217;m drawn back to my university days. A lot of what Oliver tells me sounds very familiar.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27043\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27043\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-27041\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/brainkinetik_oliver-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"brain kinetics oliver\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver-240x240.jpg 240w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_oliver.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brainkinetik-Guru Oliver in action<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Connections_the_Thing\"><\/span>The Connection&#8217;s the Thing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Training with brain kinetics creates new connections in our brain and activates our natural senses.

The more complex the exercise, the more complex the corresponding connection. Scientific studies confirm that coordinating exercises have a positive effect on brain development.

It&#8217;s only when we do new unknown and unusual exercises that new connections and solutions emerge in the brain. So the more unfamiliar an exercise feels, the better it is for the brain. Another aspect is that connections that arise in a &#8220;good state&#8221; are much better. Fun is therefore a must for learning and brain development in brain kinetics.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27051\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27051\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27051\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training.jpg\" alt=\"brain kinetics training\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brainkinetik_training-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-27051\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our BLUEf!t Guides in action<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And then it starts.
