Are gym mirrors there to size up the neighbors during the workout? How about creating an illusion that the gym is actually much larger or do they just intimidate? Some opinions consider that mirrors boost self-esteem, whereas others experience a partnership, like getting feedback from their reflecting twin. Some skeptics believe prolonged use of mirrors at the gym results in negative performance levels & the information derived from them is irrelevant to the exercise. Other studies claim mirrors are neither the best nor the worst place to focus, & put an emphasis on paying attention to the messages sent to the brain from the muscles during the workout rather than on the body’s visual movements. Thanks for coming by.
