100% straight faced without any sarcasm: 5 minutes of exercise.
Several studies have show that exercise increases BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor), which stimulates the production of new neurons. While is true that a couple of quick push-ups won't make you study the whole night, it will increase the blood flow and by extension the amount of energy and oxygen that reaches the brain, essentially giving you a small boost in willpower.
That being said if you aren't used to exercising on a regular basis then I suggest you to star with two push-ups instead of 10 or 20. Why? Because is more likely that you're going to do it if is less rather than more (I mean, ANYONE can do two push-ups... right?). Pushing yourself too much on your first time is simply bad your body, so always start with something simple
If you want a more complete overview on the positive effects exercise has on the brain then I suggest you to watch this video I originally posted on The Sporting News thread.
