Mental Fitness

What about your mental fitness? When was the last time you dedicated time and effort to maintain a healthy mental state, and do you place the same importance on it as you do with physical training & exercise.

It might not surprise you to find that physical and mental fitness go hand-in-hand. Sports psychologists have been helping athletes prepare and be in the right 'mindset' as part of their training, and this doesn't just apply to elite or professional athletes. We often hear that sports is as much a mind game as it is about playing to the rules of the game. There is also no doubt that physical activities have a direct impact on your mental and emotional state, such as the benefits of the hormones/chemicals released during exercises that makes you feel better.

Here are some very simple ways to help you incorporate a little bit of mental fitness training into your everyday life, if you don't already do something like yoga (which is great for both physical and mental fitness) or meditation (specifically focusing on mental fitness)
