The mind is a powerful machine. What ever you focus on becomes your reality. Think about it, if you focus on how bad your head hurts then you will have a bad headache. In the same breath, if your pattern is interrupted and you end up focusing on something else… where did the headache go? The same principle applies in all areas of your life, fitness included. Let’s use exercise as an example. Lets say your goal is to gain an inch in your biceps so you are doing bicep curls. That’s the right exercise for your goal, but where is your mind? Are you thinking about where you have to be right after your workout? Are you jamming out to your Ipod and just going through the motions? Are you replaying your day in your head? If you’re not focused on the exercise, do you think you are getting the full benefit? How is your form? Are you contracting the muscles you want to work? How is your tempo? Are you using other muscles that don’t need to be involved in a bicep curl… ie. straining your neck, raising your elbows to work your shoulders, using your whole body to fling the weight up? Something to think about, huh? If you find that your mind drifts while you workout, I challenge you to really focus on what you are doing the next time you work out. Mind on the muscle you might say. I believe you will notice a big increase in your results. Remember, whatever you focus on, becomes your reality. So focus of the hot body you will have and how great it will make you feel to achieve your goals. Go for it!
