Imaginary Exercise
Imaginary Exercise Working out may get easier, especially for people who can't find time for the gym.
In a preliminary report from The Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, subjects did three sets of ten slow biceps curls without weight on their nondominant arm three times a week, while simply imagining lifting the heaviest weight they could. After eight weeks, although there was no change in visible muscle definition, strength in that arm increased 30
to 40 percent. The reason: The mind controls the body to such a degree that the brain forced muscle fibers and motor neurons to work, explains study
coauthor Dootchai Chaiwanichsiri, from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand.
