Kick Start Fat Loss Workout Training with Your Mind

What if someone tells you that you can lose that 5 or 10 kilos through a simple yet powerful tool within your reach? You might ask, "Which one?"

The answer? Your mind! You have probably heard a lot about visualization, and for sure many of you have also doubted its effectiveness. But guess what? It really works. The truth of the matter is that you are using it every day, unconsciously - when you are hungry, when you eat. In every activity you do, what happens if you summon an image, like for example, when you are hungry and you think of a delicious fruit or that yummy pasta you are dying for? The tendency is that you salivate and that only proves a simple truth, the mind has a direct impact on the body. If your mind can help you get ready to eat, it can also get you pumped to hit the gym and change your diet.

Any athlete or gym trainer knows that one of the major blockades we need to surmount to reach our full potential is not the size of our biceps or the length of our legs. It is actually what we have between our ears - the mind. The mind can be our worst enemy. Luckily, the mind works in both ways. If we are trained to harness its power, then we can accomplish what we thought was impossible.

Below is a step by step process on how you can focus your mind and train to lose fat.

1. To focus your full concentration towards a predefined target - let's just say: Lose 10 lbs in a week. Once you know what your final destination looks like, guided imagery - or visualization - can help you attain an altered status that can increase your strengths and perseverance, provide you with more control and in turn, enhance your confidence, optimism, and ability to tolerate pain, anguish and stress losing fat can give you. Although quite simple to draw on, some tips can help you master visualization faster.

2. Before thinking of some images, you will have to gain a stress free condition by way of slowing down your breath. When you already feel centered, you can then begin visualizing yourself once you have attained your goal. Try to involve all your senses (sight, taste, smell, hearing, touch) and add as many details as you can; that way, you make the exercise more plausible and the effects will surely last longer. Imagery works better when you are not uttering words to make the visualization.

3. Accepting sensations that come into the mind of their own accord will also help and a partner or a group, or better, a community, can also increase the potency of the exercise or the programme. If you find your mind traveling far beyond what is necessary, you can seek and have someone to guide you with his/her voice through your estimated success.

These are just a few of the techniques you can work on training your mind for a successful weight loss goal. We recommend that you try this first on yourself; it may just help you find your way through the success of your fitness goals. Then, once you see results, positive results, share to your friends. They will surely thank you for it.
