Motivation and rationalization of the unavailable - we can do more than we think!
The year was 1954, specifically on May 6 in Oxford, England. The runner named Roger Bannister managed a hitherto unseen piece - he ran 1 mile (1,609 meters) in 3 minutes and 59 seconds. During the previous nine years, the record was set at 4 minutes and 1 second, and exceeding the four-minute limit was widely considered unattainable worldwide. It was less than 3 years since the record was set by Roger Bannister, and immediately 13 people ran a mile in under four minutes. What has changed? Has there been an extreme progression of runners in those few years, has the problem been in something else?
Let's move a little closer to the present in time. In 2012, a group of trained cyclists was selected for observation, while they had to make the fastest possible time by using their maximum (all effort) on a stationary bicycle, where the track was set to a length of about 6.5 kilometers. Subsequently, in a short time, they were invited back, but one condition changed. They had to compete with the virtual "avatars" who represented their previous time. On average, every single cyclist improved by 1%. To make matters worse, this attempt was made for the third time, where they also competed with their avatar, but he was accelerated by a few hundredths without their knowledge. Again, cyclists were faster, but now by 1.7% than at their previous maximum. How is it possible? Tim Noakes, a sought-after professor of movement and sports science at the University of Cape Town, advocates that it is not the body but the brain that "slows us down" and determines when we will no longer rule. He argued that "fatigue is an emotion, a signal in the mind that helps ensure that exercise is performed within the body's ability. This emotion is influenced by many factors, such as motivation, anger, fear, memories of previous performance, self-confidence, and what the body tells the brain.… Our physical performance controls the brain, not limited by the heart, lungs, or muscles. ” Even though we all know what it is like, a piece of truth is ingrained in this sentence
As we all know, the hardest part is taking the first step - getting up off the couch at all and making a decision. It is also very helpful to use the visualization before performing the exercise, and actually any sports activity. And that is exactly what I come across in the article. Read our article on visualization and apply its principles in practice. Summer is approaching and many are stagnating, form is not and is not stoned, looking in the mirror is not global every day, but we all know that fitness is a way of life and even the transformation or improvement of form is a process that does not take a week or two. If you need to motivate yourself before each workout, who did it, who persevered! But you will achieve the greatest success by building discipline and habit, because the body works on an "autopilot" and performs a set of daily repetitive things, habits, without their awareness and perception. Speaking of motivation, it is a “psychological process that activates human behavior and gives it purpose and direction. It is an internal driving force that drives to meet unmet needs. The will to achieve something. ”So motivation is what makes you stand out of your ass and go after your dreams and desires, and you also need to use our head, in which there is a lot going on and the idea and visualization in sport really it is not just an empty word without real meaning, but a process confirmed by studies, which works and thanks to which everything goes better. However, we must not forget the essential deeds!
Spending a lifetime on genetics, indigestion, heavy bones is not only pathetic, but mostly stupid. What you should take from this article is that the statement if you can't add is not such a fabrication. "I will not be outworked!" - as Will Smith mentions in the legendary video - you may be more talented, more talented, but you simply can't beat me with the effort I make to achieve my goals. This is the right mentality to follow.
