Focus on yourself!

What is the last time you focused on your breathing? And about your heartbeats?
Very few people pay attention to breathing and heartbeats, maybe except when exercising…well, not sure… Did you see already people doing their cardio in a big gym center? They watch tee vee, listen their ipod, read a newspaper!!!

The key, in term of results in health and fitness, is to develop the awareness of your body: how do you feel, how do you breath, how is your heart rate! By focusing on what you are doing, you are in control of yourself and you can adjust your effort anytime according to your feeling and your goal.

When you focus on yourself, you are in a state of meditation, you are in a state of self hypnosis: you relax your mind when exercising. I personally do it every time when I’m training; even with a 15 minutes workout and I feel re-energized!

When I do cardio (I run outside), it’s a special moment for me because I’m 100% focused on myself: the effort but also my thinking…and always ideas flow! It’s like oxygen boosts my body and mind. And I swear, I don't take EPO (Erythropoietin)!!!

Did you experience this feeling already?
If not, start to focus on yourself, on your breathing, on your body. Don’t do anything else when exercising, you have to meet with yourself!
