Introducing
Pushups for the Mind.mil
Peak Mind Interactive developed Pushups for the Mind.mil in collaboration with the US Department of Defense.
Pushups for the Mind.mil is a mindfulness app developed specifically for military personnel. The App is grounded in extensive published research with high-demand groups, including US Military cohorts from multiple services. This app aims to enhance attention and working memory, serving as a proactive tool for holistic fitness and performance optimization. The App fills a gap left by existing mindfulness training programs that are both too resource-intensive and not contextualized for the military.
The App is available for free to members of the US Military (active-duty, reserves, and National Guard) using their .mil address. In addition, members of the following military education institutions can access the App with their .edu addresses: US Military Academy West Point, US Naval Academy, US Air Force Academy, US Army War College, US Naval War College and National Defense University.
Whether you’re learning, leading, training, or preparing for a high-stakes challenge, attention is mission-critical. Pushups for the Mind is your training tool for attention.
Here’s how you can put it to use
Instructors & Trainers: Attention is the foundation of learning. Use Pushups for the Mind to help trainees and students build focus and retention.
