# What "Listen to Your Body" Really Means
##### Coaching
It's not just a hippy-dippy phrase. It's a legit way to meet your mind and body exactly where they're at each day so you can make all the progress.
Last updated: 30 June 2022

- A flexible approach to your workouts—where you crank up, turn down or even skip your training based on how you're feeling—can invite more feel-good benefits.
- Being present and noticing certain cues can help you sharpen your mind-body connection, making it easier to give yourself what you need.
- On the days you need to take it easy, head to [NTC](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/ntc-app) for restorative yoga in your [favourite yoga gear](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/w/womens-yoga-5e1x6zanrlj).

Making progress in any part of life pretty much requires balance and flexibility: you want to challenge yourself without overdoing it and you have to be able to pivot if something Just. Isn't. Working. That's where, when it comes to fitness, the quintessential training instruction "Listen to your body" comes in.
Admittedly, the phrase can seem vague and unhelpful. According to yoga instructor Alex Silver-Fagan, listening to your body is all about tuning into the [mind-body connection](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/therapist-nicole-sachs-on-healing-chronic-pain) to guide your movement in a way that delivers what you need on both a physical and emotional level.
Sound a little out there? There's some science to it. Your brain keeps track of the internal signals from your body—like [sensory information](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/senses-for-recovery) from a speeding heart rate, muscle tightness or the need for food or water—and uses them to guess its state. These guesses are called interoception. "Enhanced interoception allows a person to be more in tune with their bodies as they can become more consciously aware of those signals", says Jonathan Gibson, PhD, an associate professor of psychology at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. People with better interoception tend to experience greater mental, emotional and social well-being, likely because this consciousness makes them more equipped to give their mind and body what they need on a regular basis, says Gibson. For the same reason, [studies](https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Fulltext/2020/06000/Difference_in_Interoception_between_Long_Distance.16.aspx/?cid=eTOC%2520Issues.2020-acsm-msse-00005768-202006000-00000&rid=V_0000000029717432&TargetID=&EjpToken=FGAdfo1WEjxxzzhfIka1BMynKlN9cZ_WrJGgjHZnyNXDH1hZaS8w3h14QXc86fqhn5fEAKzf6Xk&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWXprMk1qUm1NekZtWkRRMyIsInQiOiIxWk5aaWxjT3BYdE1wYWYraHIxcVwvaCt6cldLb1Q0dUl2OXVXUUJMUlBYTytsMWwrc2wyN0NackdrTm1aTGFkYklhVE1PMTBPbzVXcFMrZEQwR0wzSW1jdXBXUVZFZWtKZjZZQ29YbzBlYmh3ZGxMNFpuSVwvbWduR0E3MjkzMHdRIn0%3D) have also linked this ability with better athletic performance.
You may be thinking that tapping into this awareness is easier said than done. And it's true, the odds are against you. "We're not as intuitive as we used to be", says Silver-Fagan. These days, there are so many sources telling you what to do and how to feel that your inner voice, the one that communicates your mind-body connection, can have a hard time being heard, she says.
But listening to your body—or, as a researcher might say, "improving your interoception"—is a skill you can work on, starting with these tips.
## 1. Ground yourself straight away.
For your mind to hear what your body is saying, you have to [quiet your brain](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/move-your-body-for-a-quiet-mind). That requires [being mindful](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/how-to-be-more-mindful), or living in the moment, which is much easier to do throughout the day if you start the moment you wake up, says Silver-Fagan. She recommends sitting on the edge of your bed before you even get out of it with your feet flat on the floor. Imagine you're pushing through the floor to a lower floor and then another until you reach the Earth, she says. This meditative grounding exercise, she says, helps you "drop into" yourself so you can drown out internal noise and become truly present and thus more attentive to your needs in any given moment.
## 2. Then, breathe.
After grounding yourself or whenever you can make time, sit on your bed or in a chair for five to ten minutes and [control your breath](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/breathing-methods), focusing your attention on your chest or belly, says Gibson. This "strengthens and rewires your brain to bring interoceptive signals into greater conscious awareness". The more you practise, the better you'll get.
To boost your mindfulness while you do this, repeat a mantra in your head. "I've been working with, 'I'm right where I need to be'", says Silver-Fagan. "It could be, 'I'm here for myself in my body' or expressing gratitude for another day", she adds. This process can help you stay present as those mental and physical feelings (anxiety, tight hip flexors) pop up, giving you the opportunity to investigate. You may determine you need a glass of water instead of your usual cup of coffee to feel more balanced and less jittery, or you may decide to abandon the HIIT workout you'd planned in favour of a stretching session or long walk. Look at you, being flexible.

## 3. Go with your gut.
Your mind can tempt you into either [overdoing things](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/signs-your-body-needs-recovery) (a common problem for the get-after-it type) or selling yourself short (particularly when you're tense or tired), says Sue Falsone, a clinical specialist in sports physiotherapy who specialises in recovery. To hit your just-right point, Falsone and Silver-Fagan recommend starting with what intuitively comes to you first, checking in with how it feels, then adjusting from there.
Let's say you're doing a workout and the trainer cues a set of push-ups, with an option to do a modified version on your knees, a strict push-up or an advanced decline push-up. If the strict push-up feels right in that moment, start there, says Silver-Fagan. But if it doesn't immediately feel like the good kind of challenge (as in, you notice shoulder pain or a breakdown in your form), drop to your knees. On the flip side, if you start with a strict push-up and feel you could use an even greater challenge, try propping up your feet. Or stay right where you are if you're experiencing that perfect "this is hard but I got it" feeling.
## 4. Follow your heart. And lungs. And muscles …
If you spotlight your attention on your heart rate every time it feels like your heart is slamming against your chest (say, mid-burpee), you might start to really develop body awareness, says Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD, a distinguished professor of psychology at Northeastern University, who has led studies on the mind-body connection. Researchers think that zeroing in on bodily cues, including your breath and sensations in your muscles and joints, during vigorous exercise might make you more conscious of them when they're less intense, she explains.
If you need help getting started, use a heart rate monitor. Knowing how hard your heart is working during exercise can help you figure out if you should, for example, cut some miles off your run or add a fourth set to your strength circuit, says Falsone. This can get you in the habit of using your heart rate to determine [whether you need to pull back](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/should-i-take-a-break-during-my-workout) or push yourself until it becomes intuitive and you can tune into what your body needs without the technological assist, she says.
## 5. Keep a written record.
As you get better at listening to your body in real time, you can start recording how you feel after, say, your first cardio workout in weeks or several days of getting out of your desk chair and moving every hour, says Silver-Fagan. For example, perhaps you realise that when you run three days in a row, you move slower through a Vinyasa yoga session, so you commit to a [restorative class](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/ntc-app) on those days instead. Or maybe you find that you're really sore when you spend the day after a tough workout on the couch, so you vow to start doing some type of movement on your [recovery days](https://www.nike.com/hu/en/a/signs-your-body-needs-recovery).
At this point, you're not just listening any more—you're having a full-on conversation, says Silver-Fagan. And *that* is the key to progress that lasts.
