Don’t Exercise! Yeah, I said it, “Stop doing unsafe programs”!
A lot of people think that all exercise routines are universal?
Everybody wants to do cross fit, marathons, and long distance biking; you know the whole modern day elite fitness propaganda.The masses live by one theory; the
more you run, the more fat you burn, the less you eat, the
skinnier you get, and the more you push yourself pass the
limit, the better off you will be.
May I digress…heard it all
before lol…my brother love that song. That's straight BS!
You are sacrificing temporary gain for
lifetime pain.
I can’t count the number people I treated in the clinic suffering from nagging back and knee pains from insanity and crossfit.
You need joint health for fluent locomotion which influence fulfilment.
Don’t you believe in living life to the fullest? I damn so do…excuse my French.
You will not live life to the fullest, if you can't walk without pain by age 45. You need to think about your future. Now if you have surpass 45 years of age without these symptoms, more power to you, enjoy life!
If you are experiencing pains, I can help you decrease or alleviate those symptoms,just follow carefully. My personal training focus is lifestyle enhancement; weight loss, functional movements, corrective movement patters, posture corrections and so on... So stay tune, and you will get all the information you need to enjoy your retirement pain free, and... sexy!
These quick-fix programs are convulsive in nature; abnormal movement patterns are taught and they are detrimental to your overall health.
Even too much running can cause a heart attack, did you know that?
Well that’s an entire blog in itself, so I rest my case.
These trending programs don’t inform you on the amount of injuries participants suffer during the course of the program. I read a case about a cross fit participant, that tore his ACL and another acquired a major neck injury from a weighted barbell landing on his head during clean and jerk exercises. So unsafe, its actually hazardous!
I know a better way
What if I tell you, I know a better way to enhance vitality and fitness levels, would you be interested in learning?
You have to know your current fitness level first, before committing to any exercise program. Your current level essentially is used to gage an exercise intensity safe zone to function in.
In other words if you are inactive and overweight you shouldn’t be running miles to lose weight! Your program should start with low intensity exercises then sequentially increase intensity as you get stronger and gain experience of proper movement’s patterns.
The solution is: hire a trainer that has proper body mechanics and corrective functional movement experience.
I believe that movement functionality and safety is key to preventing injuries and yielding the best results during training sessions.
Your Body Transformation specialist advice
Hire a personal trainer with functional movement experience, including the biomechanics of your joints, movement limitations, and anatomy & physiology, all needed to best assist you. Essentially they will be able to guide you in the process of lifestyle enhancement and reaching your fitness goal safely and most efficiently.
Understand your current fitness level, what it needs to be to conduct the activities you desire and what it takes to get to that point.( use professional assistance).
Progress sequentially, one step, one stage, at a time. The stronger you get the more advance the activities should become with time. Patience is virtue! You need to enhance your ability to walk longer distances safely, then eventually build up to a walk/jog routine.
Sample Progression Promgram:
Week1: walk a mile everyday.
Week 2: walk 1.5 miles every day
Week 3: walk 2.5 miles every day
Week 4: walk 3.5 miles everyday
Week 5: walk 2 miles with a fast pace everyday
Week 6: walk 3 miles at a fast pace everyday
Week 7: walk the straight away, jog the curves at a track 4 times= 1 mile ( for 2 weeks 2-3 times a week with a rest day in between)
Week 9: jog the straight away, walk the curves at track 4 times= 1 mile( 2-3 weeks)
By week 12: you should be able to jog a whole lap and then walk one 4x = 1 mile
Within another month: you should be able to slow jog a mile with minimal stopping (maybe stop 1-2 times for 30secs rest breaks).
One more month: yeah!!! You have defeated the pain, now you can jog a mile slowly without stopping!!!
This is a sample progressive exercise plan, used to build up to jogging a mile. Of course you will need to do some strengthening exercises throughout the week as well to prepare for running.
Are you excited that you have taken time out of your day to learn more ways to enhance your life! I am!! Keep up the great work and stay dedicated!
