Fitness training is much more than just becoming lean, fit and healthier. Yes, we all go the gym to do that above all else… well most of us ( haha ).

Training your brain is equally important. A more academic word for this is Neuromuscular Skills ( NMS ). Basically, you want to make sure that you also challenge your brain just as much as you challenge your body. Obviously for sport this is very important. Hand and eye coordination drills, multiple and complex movement exercises is not just for the serious sports contender.

Simply put, the more you have to think about doing an exercise , the more you are developing your Neuromuscular Skills.

For example, doing a squat, while holding two different weighted medicine balls and moving them through three planes is but one example that you can train your brain. You have to focus on doing a squat correctly, while keeping your arm in line and moving them in a proper rhythm. You get the picture.

Also incorporating some boxing punches that combine different combinations isn’t just an arm toning workout but will develop your coordination.

Jab, jab, hook…  left, left, right hook etc etc… you get the picture.

Instead of just doing the old boring routine that uses nothing more than your arm going up and down, take it up a notch by working out a complex routine.

Another plus point is off course your muscles will work harder cause they won’ be used to such complex movements, which means they actually have to work.

I’m sure that I don’t need to tell you about the endless advantages, faster weight loss, more strength, better and quicker results.

So think NMS and open up a whole new world

Happy training!
