Mind Over Muscle: How Visualization Boosts Strength and Performance

If you’ve ever doubted the power of your mind, check this out…

 

Twenty-nine people volunteered for a study where they wore surgical casts on their wrists for four weeks. 

 

Half of them were told to sit quietly and visualize that they were flexing their immobile wrist for 11 minutes a day, 5 times a week. 

 

The other group did nothing.

 

At the end of the study, scientists found that the wrist muscles of those who did the visualization exercises were 2x as strong as the wrist muscles of the control group. 🤯

 

Even though all they did was visualize!

 

Some other benefits of tapping into your “mind-muscle” connection? 

 

It can help you improve your form during your workouts so you avoid injury and get better results…

 

And, it can boost your body awareness, which can help with balance, performance, coordination, and even your posture. 

 

If you want to try more mindful muscle movements during your workouts, you can: 


  1. Lift slowly. Lift the weight for 2-3 seconds, pause for 1 second, and lower the weight for 2-3 seconds.
  2. Close your eyes and picture your muscles working. Obviously don’t do this one if you have balance issues or are doing an exercise that challenges your balance!

 

You might be surprised at how much easier it is to get more out of your workout when you shift your focus like this! 

 

This is also why having a coach or a structured plan can make a huge difference…

 

When you work with our team here at Method3 Fitness, we can help you see your path more clearly, give personalized feedback, and keep you accountable.

That way, you’re not just guessing…

 

You’re giving your mind a clear end goal to visualize, which makes it easier to stay focused and on track.
