Definitely. Reading is great "exercise"–even if you only read novels. Puzzles are great, too. And keeping your body, not just your brain, healthy–nutrition and exercise–will allow the brain to get the resources it needs to work efficiently. If you're interested in something, learning about it will exercise your memory and concentration; it doesn't have to be some hugely scholarly topic, either; you can study your favorite movie actor and it'll have the same effect. For the best results, do things that are just challenging enough to make you think, but not enough to frustrate you.
