Engage Your Mind to Change Your Body

The Weekly Burn /
Have you ever felt like you’re showing up and getting your workouts in but really just going through the motions? Does it sometimes seem like you’re getting it done but not really seeing results? On the other end, have you ever had a workout during which you feel completely connected to your body, where you can feel your muscles working purposefully for each exercise? When it’s over you feel energized instead of drained. The difference is huge and can have a huge impact on the changes you see in your body.

What accounts for the difference is commonly referred to as the mind-body connection. It’s the proven fact that what goes on in our minds (i.e. beliefs, thoughts, attitudes, emotions) can positively or negatively influence what happens to our bodies. In relation to fitness, the mind-body connection begins coming together even before you get into the gym.

Now, we recognize that life nowadays is hectic and you’re pulled in a million different directions with obligations to work and family. And, these make it difficult to find the mental energy to focus on yourself. But mastering the connection can mean the difference between feeling stale and stagnant versus rejuvenated and invigorated by your fitness efforts.
