by admin in Mind & Body 0 comments
The term ‘Train the Brain’ in exercise science refers to the concept of engaging the human brain while doing any physical activity   Here’s what I’ve learned in my many years of propagating body wellness: Training your brain will help you to develop neuromuscular coordination, which will then help increase your body’s awareness and metabolism. Numerous studies show that if you are able to activate neurons during your fitness training sessions the result would be 10 times better than the orthodox model of training. In our day-to-day life, where we all mostly live a sedentary lifestyle, we must find a way to be active. When we talk about ‘training the brain’, it is one of the most effective ways to burn more calories while also helping you lead a stress-free life. Brain fitness can be improved by various challenging activities such as practicing sports, playing chess, tai-chi, and yoga. Another example would be asking the participant to run when he/she hears a clapping sound and jumping when the coach whistles. It not only sounds interesting but it’s really fun when done.   CHALLENGE YOURSELF   Most of us tend to get bored with mundane types of training and slowly lose motivation. But […]

Far beyond being a mere physical exercise, yoga is an ancient practice that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Here is how yoga can help you achieve your weight loss goals by harmonizing your mind, body, and spirit. Cultivate Mindful Eating: One of the key aspects of weight loss is mindful eating, which involves being fully present and aware of the food you consume.
