Scientists discover just IMAGINING exercising can make you stronger, tone your muscles, and delay or stop muscle atrophy

I wouldn't really go that far. Visualization of you exercising while you're exercising is very important though, putting all of your focus on the individual exercise, and individual muscle even, makes you stronger faster. Most old school body builders knew this.
 
Imagination plays a part, but claiming that one will raise half a ton simply because they imagined it is just asinine to say the least.

No need to go to the gym non-spiritual person, just imagine you're running, that's right, you'll get slimmer that way.

The highest effect imagination can have on these matters is upwards to a maximum of 20% I would say. Sitting down and being very fat, and imagining one runs, isn't going to lose you all that much of weight. But within the context of actually doing the deed, such as trying to lose weight, 20% goes a huge way, so imagination + action can be superior to action only.

I agree 100% with this, I should have said in the post. I certainly do not believe that sitting all day and just imagining to exercise will make you become Hulk lol but a combination of both will definitely speed up the process. I just found interesting that science now thinks that our brain can influence our body, they confirm this so we can show evidence that even visualization and affirmation can improve your life.

PMSL. That is learnt in school. The Brain sends signals to Body parts to do things. Of course, (((they))) had to stop long before getting to visualisation, affirmations and meditations, though.
