10 Ways Mind and Body Training Helps You Reach Your Fitness Goals

‘A fit body, a calm mind, a house full of love. These things cannot be bought – they must be earned.’

– Naval Ravikant –

 

I just felt that this is the right time that I should put my thoughts into words about Mind and Body Personal Training.

Because, in the current COVID-19 epidemic, unfortunately a lot of people living in London are experiencing negative feelings, such as frustration, sadness, anxiety, fear, and even depression.

By the way, work from home has taken toll of our physical health as well – so, no one was spared.

And if you have been having troubles working from home, related to your physical and mental health, then you are not alone.

Helping yourself and your family members keep a positive attitude is particularly important for you all to get through this difficult period.

Mind and Body Training UK programme is the place where you will get the right solution.

Here is how you can improve your health, transform your fitness and stay calm as you work from home.

Mind and body training UK

This unique Mind and body training UK based approach is specially designed to combat the obstacles in our minds which hold many of us back.

10 Reasons for Body and Mind Training

1. Smartly combining Mind and Body is essential for Mental as well as Physical Health.

Yes, that is true.

‘Soundness of health is just impossible in a disordered mind, as in a disordered body.’

  • Marcus Tullius Cicero –

Psychologists have proved that physical conditions affect mental health, and that mental conditions affect physical health.

Our mind and the body are the greatest tools we possess to achieve positive well-being.

1. Smartly combining Mind and Body

It is imperative that we develop awareness, learn body intelligence, and use it as part of the treatment and prevention of physical and mental illness.

There are many ways to train and strengthen body-mind connections like [1]

  • Progressive Muscle Relaxation,
  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction,
  • Breathing Techniques,
  • Meditation,
  • Mindfulness,
  • Mental Health Training
  • Biofeedback,
  • Pilates, And
  • Yoga

These are just a few ways.

This is a new trend and believe me, many people are now opting for combined training that involves both mind relaxation and physical body fitness.

2. Mental Preparation Improves Expectations and Peak Performance Throughout an Event [2]

You must have felt the phenomenon ‘I need to stop’ during high-intensity exercise, especially, in the case of a graded exercise treadmill protocol.

You always get that overwhelming sensation of fatigue.

Let me explain you.

This sensation mostly occurs during maximum oxygen testing.

Yes, its scientifically proven.

Mental Preparation

 

The cause of fatigue is not your body.

Just ask yourself: Does exercise truly start and end in the brain?

The answer is always NO, and therefore,

Health practitioners have elucidated the complex nature of fatigue.

The most powerful tool to enhance your body performance is by improved conscious/subconscious feed forward adjustments in pace or intensity during exercise.

This highlights the importance of training both the body and mind as mental preparation improves expectations!

So, simply trust the fact:

The body achieves what the mind believes 😊

3. A Mind-Body Training Programme Improves Function and Reduce Chronic Low Back Pain.

Are you experiencing Back Pain While Working from Home?

I know, it is bad ☹.

Because of COVID-19 pandemic and new guidelines imposed like social distancing, people started working from home. Only virtual meetings!

Work strategies are also changed, and everyone is just spending maximum time on screen.

Almost no physical meetings, only digital world.

The sad part is that it has decreased flexibility of our body causing back pain due to poor posture.

Here is the solution for back pain😊

An alternative integrative therapeutic 121 Pilates focused approach with a dual mind-body focus.

A clinical trial of mindfulness meditation program involving mind and body training showed significant improvement in short-term function and provided some long-term pain relief [3].

4. ‘Mind and Body’ Training Is A Powerful Solution for Beating Obesity [4]

Unfortunately, approximately 50% London’s adult population is either overweight or obese.

I know, it is unbelievable, but it is true and sad ☹

Obesity is not a single problem…It is complex situation governed by physiological, environmental, social, economic, and behavioural factors.

Obesity increases risk of other diseases like:

  • Diabetes,
  • Heart diseases,
  • Depression, and
  • Cancer too.

Several scientific studies have proved that mind and body training like:

  • Guided imagery,
  • Relaxation,
  • 121 Pilates,
  • Yoga,
  • Qi gong, and
  • Meditation, influence thoughts and emotions.

‘A happy mind thinks happy thoughts, and a healthy body hunger for healthful foods’😊

These techniques also help weight reduction through stress reduction, self-monitoring, satiation, and making you aware of what and how much you should eat [4].

Isn’t that surprising?

So, along with diet and exercise which are the primary risk-reduction strategies, training your mind and body, increases success and outcome sustainability.

5. Diabetes Patients Feel Good with Mindfulness Meditation for Mind and Body Interactions.

Our thoughts and feelings are the main stress inducers and psychological stress is most common risk factor for diabetes.

“How can I sit still with hundreds-of-thoughts in my mind? It is extremely difficult to control thinking.”

The answer to the question is a powerful Pilates rhythmic breathing technique.

Several biomedical studies have proved that meditation affects several parts of our brain and we see several neuroplasticity changes like improved attention regulation, emotional regulation, and self-awareness. [5]

Your feelings of well-being will rise you will get better control over your emotions.

This is especially important in managing triggers of high blood sugar.

Let me assure you, the sense of well-being that self-perpetuates the urge to meditate regularly, for a prolonged beneficial control over your blood sugar.

6. Reduce Cancer Treatment-Related Side Effects with Mind and Body Therapies.

Treatments for cancer can take a toll on your health.

Do you know the side-effects of cancer chemotherapy?

They are horrible…

  • severe nausea,
  • vomiting,
  • pain,
  • fatigue, and
  • depression….

The cancer patients get painful thoughts… thoughts of pain, loss, and even shortened life.

It is incredibly sad, because it builds intensive levels of stress… and leads to physical and emotional suffering.

Many mind and body integration techniques like relaxation, hypnosis, yoga, meditation, tai chi and qigong, and art therapies reduce stress hormones and improve life of a cancer patient [6].

You will be surprised to know that it helps in childhood cancer also! [7]

Always remember – ‘Mind-Body training is the best complementary healing procedure’.

7. Drug-Free Treatment for Smoking Cessation Is Mind-Body Practices

Having trouble kicking the habit?

Try meditation to quit smoking…

It is highly effective…

Meditation provides not only mental but also physical benefits to the smoker.

Do you know why people smoke?

For sure, people are smocking a lot more when they are stressed and anxious…

They know that smoking is bad, but they feel better after they take a puff and enjoy that moment of relaxation.

Now you may say that there are medicines available for smoking cessation.

But you do not know that those treatments have limited success.

‘Your body holds the real wisdom. Understand it and Nourish it.’

– Bella Bleue –

Therefore, scientists keep on searching new therapies and they found that Mind-body practices such as Pilates and meditation help significantly to aid smoking cessation.

Now you enjoy the best part of it, that is drug-free treatment 😊.

8. Mind–Body Therapy Works Best for Children with ADHD [8]

Though, like many, who are trying to figure out how to manage their kids ADHD, you may feel you are broken.

If this is your outlook, you are focusing your time and energy trying to fix your kids problem yourself.

But that is not right.

You need to understand that your kid’s brain is working differently than other kids…

It is a neurological issue and is pervasive among the paediatric population.

Clinicians have proved therapeutic effects of mind and body integration improving the symptoms of ADHD among children.

They have experimented several techniques like yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation in children.

Mind–body therapies offer a wide range of psychosocial, emotional, and neurobiological effects, making it a promising therapy regimen.

9. All Round Health Benefits of Pilates – The Best Mind Body Connection Fitness

Whenever we are clear-minded and relaxed, we become consciously aware and interact with the world in a positive way.

Best Mind Body Connection Fitness

We are more skilful in our actions, and we are better communicators and better listeners, more patient and kind to others, and less reactive, all qualities that are essential for the dental professional.

10. Holistic Fitness of Mind, Body During COVID-19 Pandemic

Pandemics are stressful ☹

Remember what Shakespeare had said?

Our bodies are our gardens – our wills are our gardeners!

But during the Coronavirus Pandemic’s Public health policies like social distancing, make us feel isolated and lonely and increase stress and anxiety. [11]

Fear and anxiety about the new disease and what could happen can be overwhelming and cause strong emotions in us.

You need to understand this stress energy is connected to almost all lifestyle diseases such as

  • Diabetes,
  • Hypertension,
  • Cardiovascular diseases,
  • Obesity,
  • Depression, anxiety and much more.

You should take ownership of your mind and body for maintaining good health.

You just need to learn and understand yourself.

Concentrate on your health and focus on how you can be better than yourself!

Fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, but also the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.   – John F. Kennedy

So, Join the Mind and Body training to make your health experience in a positive step towards a healthier you.
