Form ~
Do individuals pay attention to their form while working out or playing any type of sport?
Isn’t it interesting how a movement that is around you strikes up a thought in your mind? Well that’s exactly what happened to me Monday morning. Here I was getting ready to do my overhand chin-ups and there was a female doing her side sit-ups. She was moving so quickly that it took me by surprise. Then my mind starts asking questions, like why is she moving so fast? What benefits is she getting out of that routine? Before I get to deep into it, I stop my thoughts and get back on track with myself. Interesting how a mind can wander around and start on its own course. While you’re at the gym, your mind gets trained also. Staying focused on yourself, blocking all sounds, breathe, what muscle are you working on, how many reps are you going to get and form. Now you’re in position and poof there goes your mind again.
