Visualization and Movement mediation can come together in a very positive way.

On the lake there is a group of canoeists, if you listen, the instructor is giving direction but also visualization of what participants will be doing.

Instructions are a great help to Visualization. They create boundaries for movement,

expectations, and a formula for executing movement.

As a spinning instructor, an event such as the Tour de France, a 21-day Cycling

Race around France provided a shared visualization for everyone in the class.

In the race there are 22 teams of 8 riders each. Some are specialists in

mountain climbing, others in sprinting and others are generalists.

Adding tension to the spinning wheel made it harder to pedal. During a mountain stage we could visualize riding in the French Pyrenees. Reducing tension allowed us to

visualize racing with the sprinters on flat sections.

Visualization and Movement mediation work very well together as there is good feedback between what you believe you are doing, or where you are when exercising and what you are actually doing.
