Visualize your Workout

I feel like I am on hiatus from my blog writing this summer. This has been an interesting and busy summer to say the least. Last month was a pretty crappy workout month (crappy by my standards)  and I getting back into my training this month. It's funny, I was speaking to a trainer, John, at my gym and I was telling him that I feel like I've lost muscle and my muscles are smaller, particularly in my legs. This is as as a result of having a crappy workout month last month. But here I am feeling a bit ridiculous telling him this since, I hope it's not that easy to lose muscle, but it takes so long for me to put on muscle that I have a bit of a paranoia about this. Well I am not the only one who is feels this way, since John tells me that he feels the say way since he has been unable to work out for over a month after having eye surgery. I feel for him! Since he is unable to workout, he has been doing what I call "air" workouts, he is basically doing bicep curls without weights and is using a lot of visualization techniques where he visualizes that he is working out. I am not sure how effective that is but, it makes him feel better. Wouldn't it be great to just visual working out and getting some of the same effects of that workout! I actually did have a trainer who would make me visualize all my workouts before doing them.
