Hmm, this is interesting. And I can tell you right now I'm not ready for it. Last summer I tried doing some "thinking" while wilderness trail hiking (I was working on the 50 states, memorizing various details for a project I'm creating) and fell not once but twice, not paying attention. I've had a couple serious accidents on my bike "thinking" while doing math problems, too.
So for now I'll pass on this multi-level exercising, but will continue to do compound exercises to engage mind/body exercising. For example step-ups with bicep curls, squat thrusts with burpees, balancing on one leg on a bosu while doing shoulder internal and external rotation, and so forth.
I'm not sure if and when I'll be ready to try these. Form is really important and for many of these exercises like squats and alternating leg step-up movements I need to stay mindful to avoid injury. Hah, I'm not coordinated at all, and dyslexic. A one-two punch for sure.
Excellent information and article, though, gives me something to work towards!
It’s really a great approach. I used to teach Silver Sneakers classes and I used these types of exercises with my classes frequently. It’s fun and challenging. And don’t worry if you mess it up. Just keep working at it and have fun!

This is so helpful. It had never occurred to me to try this before, but now I will.
