Training the Mind

Hey all, today's entry is about training your mind. Most entries are about training the body, however, it's necessary to discuss the psychological aspect of health and fitness. It's my belief, that the mind and body are one, and in order to have a healthy mind, your body must be healthy, and visa versa. The bottom line is the mind will always give in before the body. Take for example a fire. You come home after a long day, take your seat on the couch to crash, exhausted. God forbid a fire breaks out, although you are tired, you better believe you'll be running your behind out of that house. So what I am getting at is the mind will always quit before the body, the body can always do more. The trick therein is to teach the mind not to give in and to persevere. Additionally, it's also important to establish the mind/muscle connection while training. You need the feel the muscle through the range of motion, feeling the stretch, the contraction, the whole execution of the exercise. I promise you if you can establish this mind/muscle connection, your results will take off. So finally, although not easy to do, you have to train your mind. Once the mind and body have become one, you'll be invincible.
