Prof. Harold Hill Goes to the Gym

We’re talking about the famous “think” system here, according to the Daily Mail:

A new research study suggests that just thinking of exercising can have the same effects as actually hitting the gym, officials say. A recent study published in the Journal of Neurophysiology found that simply imagining exercise can tone muscle, delay atrophy, and even make your muscles stronger.

Researchers at Ohio University, according to the Breitbart News Network, conducted an experiment using two sets of ‘healthy individuals.’ The researchers wrapped the wrists of one of the sets in a cast and gave them instructions to sit still for 11 minutes, five days a week, for four weeks, and ‘perform mental imagery of strong muscle contractions,’ — or, imagine exercising.

The other set were not given any instruction. The results illustrated that the body and mind are more intertwined than we thought.
