Nevertheless, it is currently unclear on how prospective thinking unfolds while generating future predictions about one’s own bodily states, such as when anticipating the effort to be experienced in a forthcoming physical exercise session. In this talk, I will present recent behavioral and neuroimaging findings from my team that aim at examining how these bodily-oriented prospective thinking could offer new insights in how humans could implement physical exercise in their daily-life.
