Workout Tips For
The Beginner
10 Think About Your Muscles
I know this might sound silly, but it's
important to actually focus your mind on the
muscle you're training. "Learn to really feel
your muscles," advises Orlando. "You can
practice without even picking up a weight.
While you're at home, flex your arm and feel
your biceps contracting."
Being able to focus your mind on what your
muscles are doing is often called the "mindmuscle connection." Consciously telling your
muscles to move in a certain way will help you
visualize and develop the target muscle group.
The mind-muscle connection is the way to
maximize a workout, according to Orlando.
"You aren't just there to count reps. You're
there to really feel the muscle through each
and every segment of the movement pattern."
