I think it's great that you are challenging yourself and your brain!
I heard from a friend who was in med school that if you read your notes while on an exercise bike or walk slowly on treadmill this helps the memory record information.
She told me the mechanics (which I have now forgotten), but it has to do with large muscle groups working together with the memory center of the brain records information more strongly.
