This is a different type of body building but since it did not involve anything I did differently in terms of exercise or lifting weights I think it might be an even more impressive outcome of using EFT for changing our body shape. Its an article Gary Craig asked me to write for emofree.com after I answered a request for case studies on this subject.

I have additionally been using EFT to be able to learn all sorts of sports, and as movement was a challenge for me, this has not been a straightforward task. Like Suzanne I have been using EFT to enhance my performance and the latest thrill is that I have decided to work on strength so that I could ski and keep up with my boys, as we have a week coming up in France and then two weeks holiday of a lifetime (s far) in Vail, Colorado at Easter and I am not going to be left behind.
I started this by trying to hill climb in Scotland at the beginning of summer. It was horrible and felt like a nightmare going up and even worse coming down. The only bit I enjoyed was the ridge along the top. I EFTed every single emotion about this and also my resistance to exercise and then did some dedicated exercise with the ingenious help of my wii Active programme. The exercises on this were the exact ones I needed and I climbed more mountains in Scotland and England this summer and tapped on every single issue that came up for me with the result that now my legs are very strong, have totally changed shape and yesterday I climbed a mountain and ridge of over 3000 foot, for seven miles, some of it pretty steep up and down, and alot of it on scree, in 4 hours and do not feel an ache anywhere. I am now loving it and the meditation of my boots, pole and the mountain is just the best thing. I used to find it very difficult as my husband really gets into it and sorts out everything in his own head, quietly and I love to talk things through out loud so silent walking was to put it honestly 'doing my head in' but then I started to tap on all the ridiculous thoughts I had during these endeavours and now my head leaves me in peace! I never believed this would be possible. I have now aim to join the Munro Baggers club, 6 down 197 to go:)
Without EFT this would not have been possible for me as a few years ago I had very severe fibroymyalgia syndrome and could hardly walk down the path, never mind climb huge mountains. I did once try hypnosis for skiing nerves but it doesn't go deep enough. Telling myself, or being told to to relax etc was not enough, I needed to get to the core issues behind my fear and beliefs that I couldn't do it. It is only this weekend that I can genuinely look down a steep hill and not get any emotion or response anywhere in my body, but rather plan my descent and how I would do it. This can only improve skiing even more:) The concept however of visualising what we want is very important, see your goal and then observe all your thoughts and beliefs about reaching it.
