Muscles Remember What the Mind Can Forget

By Ann Heizer for many conditions, exercise is the No. 1 treatment. Not long ago,
employees at a health clinic in Vista proved my point – they were
handing out prescriptions to walk!

Whether it’s walking, gardening, or training to run a five-minute
mile, the key to any successful exercise program is to enjoy it.

Maybe you’ve never worked out. Maybe you think you’re over the
hill. I don’t buy it, and neither does your muscle memory.

I have the privilege of working with adults who are 65 and older.
In that capacity, I have inspired many seniors to rediscover their
muscle memory and to open pathways to activities they used to
enjoy. Through guided-imagery, brain exercises, grounding tech-
niques and concentration, seniors can activate muscles they hardly
ever use.

The end result is a heightened sense of confidence, strength,
balance and awareness. All this carries from the exercise studio
right into daily life.

That’s something your muscles, your mind, and your spirit won’t
forget.
