Month: April 2019

A healthy investment should net a positive return, and with time of the essence, a strong one at that.  We have come a long way in advancing fitness, and still, we are without significant change.

If we were, our rate of obesity would steadily be declining and we would cease to be at such high risk of sedentary disease.

If your personal fitness investment can not yield a return of improving your repeatability to function tall, upright, and pain free, then you are only reaching at low hanging returns, and not being shown HOW to empower YOU.

We often forget that we are bound to earth with both time and gravity, and our movement is a reactive equation between each.

Gravity + Ground + Force (spring action) = Free energy!

 

Modern trend asks us to track ten thousand daily steps for optimal health.

That said, HOW you walk and run directly effects how you feel.  To obtain longevity with your collective steps adjust this trend to, “Healthy steps can accumulate optimal health.”

When you step outside to tackle tomorrow’s step tally, start with a FALL forward, giving time for gravity to catch YOUR stride.  This will allow for safer movement against your joints, while also exercising mechanical elasticity, offering athletic ability to your actioning muscles.

How we move can either help us to advance or impede our development.  We often push or pull without any given thought as to HOW we are performing, specifically for a desired carryover to both sport and life.

Our bodies can express highly advanced motor skills via movement patterns, driven by:

• Grounding
• Gravity
• Ground reaction

and respectively,

• Force couples

Force couples are coordinated positions that allow proactive muscular contractions, thus potentially promoting higher rates of force.   Why this becomes important is with improving conditioning (delaying fatigue) and strength (warding repetitive stress injuries) output.

All exercise programs aim to improve fitness, moreover most do this through high (volume) of repetition and not with intensity.

The problem with high repetition is that because it does not progressively improve function, over time, can diminish athletic performance longevity.

We know that something new begins with a specific demand against your current threshold.  If your performance can only fall to the total number of repetitive repetitions, then your (total) work capacity will be low to moderate output, and why repetitive stress injuries begin to accumulate.

Simply stated, your tolerance to stress diminishes while you add more to do.

The definition of insanity is to do the same expecting new outcomes.  Start with something different.

Training eccentric control has highest carryover for sport:

The Negative- muscle lengthening phase of an exercise.

Your ability to move safely and swiftly across the field lies with improving the eccentric (negative) portion of your exercises.  The concentric (shortening) phase is where to many people spend countless  hours and wonder why their body aches and their skills do not improve.

Our bodies function in a reactive sense, already coordinating repeated motion from the ground.  Your fitness training must focus on how you meet that ground, and improve your readiness to pull energy for explosive activities such as running, jumping, cutting, starting, and stopping.
