Neurophysical Enhancement

What’s psychology got to do with it?

If you’re now wondering what on earth psychology  has to do with all this, the following is an excerpt from an article in the New Scientist magazine in the April 22, 2020 issue:

“A remarkable study by Brian Clark at Ohio University showed that you can build muscle just by using your imagination. His team used a surgical cast to immobilise the hand and wrist of 29 volunteers for four weeks. For 10 minutes a day, half the group sat still while imagining performing exercises with their immobilised hand. When the casts were removed, both groups had lost muscle strength in their wrists, but the group who had performed imaginary exercises lost 50 per cent less than the control group. The results suggest that mental workouts strengthen pathways in the brain that control muscle movements, which later translates into greater command over the target muscles, increasing their strength.”

The Mental Workout you will teach your client is far more powerful than the simple imagination exercise those participants in the experiment were using – and they will be able to actually experience the improvements the programme can make immediately you have conducted the protocol. Of course, the Mental Workout on its own is not designed to create huge improvement in fitness levels but it will keep anybody as fit as it is possible for them to be without physical exercise. Even just a moderate amount of exercise, though, will produce an instant recognition of improvement.
