Body Talk - A Physical Intelligence Star

Our Physical Intelligence Star participated for 13 years at the highest professional level of his sport. It was a physically demanding one, played by big, muscular men, and requiring extraordinary agility, tremendous strength, lightning quick reactions and speed, physical resilience, long-term stamina and outstanding willpower.

In a game of giants this physically intelligent genius was a giant among them. His name? Michael 'Air' Jordan, generally accepted as the greatest basketball player ever. Michael Jordan could leap so high that he seemed to 'hang' in the air, contorting his body into the most fantastic shapes as he did so, in order either to avoid opponents or to creatively worm his way through to the basket. Hence 'Air'!

With his Physical Intelligence in full flight for those 13 years, he established 21 National Basketball Association (NBA) records, including the highest average number of points per game (31.5), the most seasons as the league's leading scorer (10), the most seasons as the league's leading scorer of field goals (10), and the most seasons as the league's player with the highest number of field goal attempts (10). He also played in the gold-medal winning US Olympic teams of 1984 and 1992.

Michael Jordan, as so many other people who excel in one intelligence has also developed his others. He was named by Fortune magazine as the most marketable sportsman in the world, thanks to his Creative, Social, Verbal, Numerical and Personal Intelligences.

Physical Intelligences is a quality we all share. Like mathematics, we can temporarily lose it, but it can always be regained.

Many painful, frightening or embarrassing experiences can help us onto the wrong track in terms of our own estimation of our Physical Intelligence. Balls dropped or hitting us painfully, joints twisted, muscles pulled, coming in last, the mocking of others, all these can convince the athlete-to-be that 'this is not for me'.

And yet still, deep down, we love the healthy expression of our bodies in action and identify with our physical heroes and heroines. What happens when a spectacular goal is scored, or and incredible race is won, or a new and astonishing world record is established? The thousands watching will spontaneously rise in jubilation at their own dream-come-true-in-another.

Your Physical Intelligence can be trained. It consists of your overall physical fitness, your balance, agility and co-ordination, anticipation, reaction time, strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness.

In order for your body to perform well, its needs to be in its top condition. You'll need Brain and Body Workout to help you improve your Physical Intelligence.

Brain and Body Workout is complete with exercises, illustrations, goals and examples for comprehensively improving your body's well-being and raising your Physical Intelligence.
