Fitness Goal of the week to help you think and feel your best!

Challenge : 3xs Cardio Run/Walk dependent on your fitness level for this week.  When you are doing any fitness work or cardiovascular workout it gets your body in what is called alpha state.  What this means is that mentally your subconscious mind is suseptible to posititve reinforcement.  Your subconcious does not distinguish the difference between the present and past.  Hence, what you are thinking or the mindset you have, has a massive effect on your physiology.   Your thoughts affects your feelings, affects your actions, which affect the results you get!!!  This is why it is important and vital to work with your mind as well as your body.  If you want to stay motivated and get results in your body shape, follow this tip.

Affirmations:   Affirmations are sentences that you say to yourself in your head that you want to feel, visualise, and hear. For example, I feel more attractive toned and healthy in everyway day by day.  I am a size 10 and feel and look the best I ever have in my life.

What ever resonates with you, or what ever you want to achieve, say it in your mind as if you already have it.  Remember the subconsciuos mind doesn't recognise fact from fiction or past from present! You have to feel it as you are saying it and visualise yourself as you want to be.  your affirmations have to be something that you can control.  Do this while running or cycling, or walking to the bus stop.  When exercising is best as this is when you are in Alpha state in your body.  Your subconcious mind will find a way of helping you get your goals, whether that is improving your will power or helping your physiology to work more efficiently.  Our minds are really powerful and we need to open our minds to how we can utilise this to our potential!  Try it and see and even if it makes you feel better and more motivated then that is time well spent:)

Please let me know how you get on and if you have managed to do your cardio on your own:) Rosa x
