Years ago the Russian Olympics Team ran away with the Gold. They won more gold medals - hands down - than any other country. The Russian athletes walked away with the Gold in events that no one even imagined they would win.
What was their secret? How did they achieve such incredible results? The power of visualization is an incredible - and proven - boost to achieving any goal you set out for.
Many fitness experts agree that visualization can be a great help in achieving your fitness goals. Believing in yourself—believing that you can leap barriers and achieve your goals—is the ticket to success in just about any endeavor. One of the most powerful tools for building self-confidence is visualization.
This easy technique involves imagining the accomplishment of the changes or goals you're working to achieve. It is a process of "training" purely within the mind. By visualizing in detail your successful execution of each step in a given activity, you create, modify, or strengthen brain pathways that are important in coordinating your muscles for the visualized activity. This prepares you to perform the activity itself.
Visualize hitting that perfect backhand. Or watch your drive hit the middle of the fairway. See yourself running that extra half mile. Try to remember how great you felt when you finished your last run. Or hit that perfect serve. Or picture yourself walking off the track - after you've just ran those few extra laps. Feel that exhilarating sense of power you get upon completing your workout. Feel the tired - yet refreshing - condition you're sure to enjoy after a great, strenuous workout.
Setting realistic goals and taking action will boost your efforts toward getting in shape fast - or any goal you set out to accomplish! Believe you can!
