Healthy Lifestyle Tip: Seeing Is Believing
In life and work, success begins with a goal. Before we can believe in a goal, we first must have an idea of what it looks like. “We must see it before we can believe it” is where visualization comes in, which is simply a technique for creating a mental image of a future event. When we visualize our desired outcome, we begin to “see” the possibility of achieving it. Through visualization, we catch a glimpse of what is, in the words of one writer, our “preferred future.” When this happens, we are motivated and prepared to pursue our goal.
Studies show that visualization increases athletic performance by improving motivation, coordination and concentration. It also aids in relaxation and helps reduce fear and anxiety. In the words of one researcher, “Visualization helps the athlete just do it and do it with confidence, poise, and perfection.”
Visualization does not guarantee success. It also does not replace hard work and practice, but when combined with diligent effort and a strong support network, it is a powerful way to achieve positive behavioral change and create the life you desire.

Testimonials!
November 23rd, 2010A thank you from “kick-boxing” class member Marsha:
I’ve been a member of Better Bodies for several years and with a busy work and family life, it’s sometimes hard to get the gym time in. I’m not usually one for classes or socializing at the gym – it’s my personal “down time”. However, I thought I’d do something new and try the kickboxing class that Kevin was going to teach. I’m probably one of the oldest (if not the oldest) in the class, but that’s ok. I feel good that I’ve been able to keep up with the younger people in the class and they’ve all been very friendly. Kevin is a great trainer!! It’s a great workout … can’t wait for it to start then can’t wait for it to be over, but in a good way. The 45 minutes goes FAST since we’re working the entire time. I like to be challenged and learn new things and have even signed up for the next kickboxing course. Thanks Kevin!!
