Recently, Olya spoke with FitnessCoaches.io about incorporating mental health practices to aid with fitness and overall health. Focusing on these aspects not only help sculpt the physique but also fortify mental resilience, highlighting the profound impact of mental health practices in physical training programs. The article discusses several ways in which your fitness can be enhanced by focusing inward, including:
- Integrate Mindfulness in Personal Training
- Set and Review Incremental Goals
- Incorporate Meditation During Cool-Downs
- Enhance Workouts with Yoga Breathing
- Apply Positive Psychology to Training
- Design Workouts to Boost Endorphins
- Use Visualization for Exercise Prep
