The Importance of Health, Nutrition, etc.

Since Tuesday's practice was cut short because I was late, I am going this afternoon. I was thinking about watching my Frank Little videos before going and I remembered reading in his book a section about the importance of overall health, diet, rest, etc. I normally ride my bike for exercise but I am trying to think of other things I can do which will complement target shooting. A friend of mine who knew Gary Morlan told me that he used to spend time (if I remember correctly it was hours a day) repetitively mounting his gun while watching television. Plus, this has been on my mind lately because of all those athletes advertising Five Hour Energy. I particularly like some of Maltzie's commentary about shifting focus from mental thoughts to actual visual processing. Since my educational background is neurological psychology I understand the value of using repetitive thoughts and motions to 'train' the brain - increasing ease and familiarity. Scientifically, the more often a neural network is stimulated the more quickly it becomes active when called upon. I am going to work on this.
