-

A

Your headphones

B

Your phone camera

C

Your imaginatio­n

C Have a long, hard think about your training. Scientists found that visualisin­g your workouts can make you stronger. Studies even suggest you can replace real sessions with imaginary ones by mentally rehearsing your reps and focusing on each muscle. After spending four out of eight weeks ditching their sessions for “fantasy” ones, subjects earned a 4% strength boost – only 1% less than the control group†.
