Your brain predicts how much effort you can expend and at what intensity and limits your performance accordingly. It makes sense for the brain to tend toward conservative estimates of our physical capabilities, which can help us to conserve energy and control the risk for injury.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Though Robson emphasizes that your physical limits are psychological, experts note that you need to consider the brain and body together. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Endure-Curiously-Elastic-Limits-Performance\/dp\/0062499866\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Endure<\/em><\/a>, Alex Hutchinson explains that your limits aren\u2019t <em>all<\/em> in your head but that changing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/2\/18\/17003304\/alex-hutchinson-endure-fitness-science-health-exercise-running-body-limits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">your brain\u2019s interpretation of your body\u2019s signals<\/a> can increase your endurance. Still, you need to be physically and mentally capable of pushing past your limits: Without working on both, you can\u2019t perform at your best.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get around the physical limits your brain sets for you, try these tactics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Think About Your Everyday Physical Activity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, Robson recommends that if you don\u2019t consider yourself fit or athletic, <strong>think about the physical activity you engage in by working or doing chores<\/strong>. Researchers (who call this \u201cinvisible exercise\u201d) find that you\u2019re much more likely to experience physical benefits if you recognize these activities as exercise. This can also boost your opinion of your fitness, which can make workouts feel less exhausting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: What Robson calls &#8220;invisible exercise&#8221; often appears in studies as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK279077\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis<\/a>,&#8221; which scientists define as the energy you expend on spontaneous physical activity. While social and environmental factors tend to determine how much of this activity you get in a given day, experts agree that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inverse.com\/mind-body\/hidden-exercise-better-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">work more movement into your day<\/a> (for example, by cleaning or playing with a pet) to reap the benefits of physical activity without having to go to the gym.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Visualization to Improve Your Performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, it may help to <strong>visualize yourself completing your workout<\/strong> to the best of your ability. Because your performance depends on your brain\u2019s predictions, you can use visualization to teach your brain what your body can achieve and get around the limits it\u2019s created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Experts say that to use visualization to improve your performance, you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellfit.com\/visualization-techniques-for-athletes-3119438\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make it a multisensory experience<\/a>. Imagine how it feels to perform a routine or achieve a particular outcome from start to finish, focusing not just on the goal but on the process of achieving it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Reframe Discomfort and Fatigue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Robson advises that when you start to feel discomfort during your workout, <strong>reframe the sensation<\/strong>. Instead of interpreting it as a signal that you need to stop, see it as confirmation that you\u2019re working your muscles, improving your stamina, and having a positive effect on your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: To push through workout fatigue, it helps to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shape.com\/fitness\/tips\/science-backed-ways-push-through-workout-fatigue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have specific strategies in mind<\/a> rather than trying to ignore exhaustion. Experts recommend trying to smile, repeating positive statements when you feel tired, practicing pushing through the difficult part of your workout, and even consuming caffeine before your workout.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have trouble sticking to a workout routine?
