Action on multiples of 3
This is a Cognicise exercise with many variations.
You can do it sitting or standing.
First, march in place while counting from 1 to 30, and clap your hands on multiples of 3.
Second, step side to side and similarly clap on multiples of 3.
Once you get used to it, try adding forward and lateral steps as you go.
Doing physical movement and thinking at the same time can feel challenging, but regardless of success or mistakes, the act itself provides beneficial stimulation to the brain.
So try it while having fun.
