If you're looking to lose weight or get toned, working out is one of the best ways to achieve that goal.

But did you ever stop to think exercise for the body could be just as beneficial for the brain?

Pearson is in marketing. He, like many others in his field, is looking to do a good job and climb up the corporate ladder.

"I'm in the field that is very deadline-driven," John Pearson said. "There's typically a lot of different projects going on at any given time. The better I can manage those projects more efficiently the better off it is for my company and career."

Blake Brown, 16, is looking to be the best at his golf game and schoolwork. He's been hitting the greens since he was a kid.

"If you're not focusing on the task at hand or the shot on hand, you can't perform as well as if you were focusing," Blake said.

So to help improve their mental game, Blake and Pearson hooked up with Scottsdale doctor Sanford Silverman.

The doctor uses headgear and a computer to put them through a series of mental exercises, which helps train their minds to focus and perform well under pressure.

"It has long-term results," Silverman said. "You're actually conditioning how your brain is functioning."

While it may look like these two are just playing videogames, did it really improve their brain function?

"I was a little skeptical, but after the second session when you sit down and even within the first three to five minutes, you start to see changes in your concentration," Pearson said.

"When I walked out, I was more aware of things and alert," Blake said.

Silverman said the neurofeedback program called the Peak Achievement Trainer is not only supposed to help people focus, but it can improve job performance, grades, and keep those on task without all the stress.

"It's sharpening your brain and your mental focusing, so what it's doing is measuring your brain wave activity and showing you when you're focusing and teaching you how to do that," Silverman said.

Silverman said the brain waves are monitored with headgear.

"That sensor on their forehead is measuring how the front of their brain is performing and you get feedback," he explained.

The sessions usually last about 45 minutes and the doctor recommends doing at least 10 sessions for good results.

"We work on visualization, cognitive reconstructing, thinking of things differently and pointing out what's changing in their lives, how are they viewing things differently, proper breathing and relaxation tips," Silverman said.

In Pearson's case, with only a couple sessions under his belt, he can already see a big difference.

"Things seem to click better," he said. "I work through stuff with a little less stress, little bit more responsibility. I'm quicker."

Blake has definitely seen an improvement in his schoolwork and as for his golf game, "my scores have been consistent since doing this and it's a little bit lower."

The Peak Performance Trainer is also used to help people with attention deficit disorder, anxiety and depression.

The cost is $115 a session.
