Mind Over Matter

Sports psychology is a growing field that studies the relationship between an athlete's psychological state and her physical performance.Many of the ideas that sports psychologists use also can be applied to the work of personal fitness trainers and nutritional specialists.Clients who are happy, feel positive toward their fitness plan,and can be open with their trainer are much more likely to achieve their fitness goals.Simply going through the motions of a wellness program is not nearly as effective as engaging both the mind and body in a healthy lifestyle.personal fitness trainers can teach their clients to view the mind as another body part that, when exercised daily, contributes greatly to their overall fitness success.
