Whole Body Fitness: Get Fit with NeuroMovement®
What Does It Mean To Be Fit?
We all want to be fit and healthy. “How fit you are” is often based upon your body and physical assets like strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition. And much of fitness training focuses on your muscles, repetition, trying harder and harder, and continuing to practice through injury and pain. But does this approach really make you fit?
Whole Body Fitness is defined as the ability to execute your intentions in life, whether you’re a high-performance athlete or a grandmother who wants to get down on the floor to comfortably play with your grandchildren. Becoming a fit human being involves far more than simply developing certain muscle groups through activities like running or lifting weights. Whole body fitness includes how you think and the way your brain works.
Your brain plays an essential role in your level of whole body fitness.
What Is the Best Way to Get Fit? Focus on Your Brain!
NeuroMovement®: A Holistic Approach to Fitness
It is your brain that organizes and controls all of your movements, thoughts, and emotions. It is your brain that tells your muscles what to do. For your brain to figure out the best, most harmonious way to perform any movement, it needs lots and lots of new information.
With Anat Baniel Method® NeuroMovement®, rather than focusing attention on your muscles, we focus on your brain.
NeuroMovement and the 9 Essentials provide the conditions that flood your brain with the new information it needs to successfully create the neural patterns to overcome pain and achieve whole body fitness.
Whether you’re a world-class athlete or a beginner on the path to greater fitness, your brain is at the ready to make movement easier and you more powerful. With NeuroMovement, you will increase your flexibility, strength, coordination, and stamina. Learn more about NeuroMovement and the 9 Essentials.
Why Is It So Difficult for So Many People to Follow Through on Their Fitness Goals and Routines?
The answer is that there are certain myths about what it takes to become more fit, that contradict what your bodies really need and require.
Trying to achieve fitness is based upon myths that make it challenging, if not impossible, to commit to and achieve a successful fitness regime.
If your brain has not gotten the information it needs to be able to create the necessary patterns of the movement you are trying to do, you may simply fail and eventually give up. Or you’ll do the movement poorly, making it painful or very difficult to do, and at times, resulting in injury.
There is no question that stronger muscles provide you with the possibility for stronger, more powerful movement and stamina, making you more fit. However, muscles do not know what to do on their own. It is the brain that “tells” the muscles what to do—when to contract and when to let go—through the signals it sends to the muscles.
By using the 9 Essentials, you will access the power of your brain and challenge these commonly accepted beliefs about fitness and health.

“I am now training for the next Olympic events. As extra benefits I have noticed that my running has become easier, my performance on exercise machines has improved and my recovery time is easier and shorter. All this without additional training!”
Joan Parsons
a woman with chronic back pain
“I need to comment on my 5-star outcome from my sessions with Neil, along with my occasional re-runs of Anat’s Healthy Backs and Necks video exercises. My once broken back is SOOO much better! My brisk walk/jog routine is for the most part completely pain free—for the first time in 30 years. This is some sort of miracle!”
Dr. Rebecca P.
a woman with a sports injury
“After sustaining a sports injury, I pursued diverse therapies and medical approaches…before I discovered Anat Baniel. A combination of periodic office visits and regular use of her DVD programs has dramatically reduced my pain level and, more importantly, they have given me back my life. Once again I am able to hike along mountain trails and meet other physical challenges.”
