Stretching To Fitness – Why Western Exercises Are Making Mistakes
In the animal kingdom there is no such thing as obesity. It is instinctive for them, unlike men, to be in constant motion. This eliminates the necessity of an exercise regiment. In the simplest motion of a yawning cab, muscles contract intensely as the cab stretches its tiny body with an uncalculating plot in such hint of pleasure after a deep slumber. Arousing the muscles to perk up simultaneously, giving every known muscle group to jolt in preparation for its work load ahead. With one swift motion the cab then leaps on its feet and heads to play off in the fields. Never counting how many strides it takes to burn calories any type of being in the animal kingdom, excluding humans, are always moving for the love of it. They regard it as a natural way of living.
Animals know too well not to discriminate one muscle group from another. They know that their gluts are just as important as their biceps or abs in terms of function and development. This ultimately makes their body and metabolism in check for fat storage because there is minimal isolation of muscle groups that are at work. The more muscles working, the faster to burn those ugly bulges with ease achieving a more natural slender and firm body structure.
Comparatively, most western exercises deal with more focused and isolated muscle work-out. This in effect can show bulky and unevenly proportioned figure. Over doing these exercises can lead to stiffness and muscular cramps, which are treated by massages to relax the over worked muscles. “Over work” is indeed the operative word for it, because those work-outs are tedious and hard to maintain. Eventually people who do it tend to stop, failure to follow though with their regiments causes to seize the work-out. It needs extra effort to succeed. Downsides when stopping are stiffness, rheumatism, neuritis and rheumatoid arthritis due to lack of stretching.
Synovial fluids are natural lubricants that are released by the body to flash out toxins in the joints. Stretching the muscles trigger these fluids to be released. Not only that, continuous blood circulation and better flow of lymph are also achieved when the body is in deep contraction.
What do these mean? It simply signifies that you’ll feel and look younger, about 10 years off your age. Cellular regeneration and lower stress levels, just by breathing properly, does the magic all thanks to deep contraction while you stretch those stiff muscles.
People tend to look for answers in spas for their vanishing youth and form. They pay lots of money to have a little glimpse into their youth once again. Hoping massage tables and electronic contraptions will do the trick. As they allow their body and face to go through different varieties of kneading, beating, shaking and pummeling all in the name of youth. Yet the truth only lies in reaching their toes to stretch each morning or yawning sluggishly coupled by deep contraction of the muscles. These are simple ways that can ensure extensive results and never short-lived.
The basis of an ancient practice is founded on this simple principle. Yoga, since its introduction to the wellness community has made its mark among the world’s most renowned alternatives to achieve a healthy body. This is not an easy way of working-out. In reality, yoga is fully concentrated on the technique of contracting the muscles deeply, which animals have mastered and humans forgot about of doing. It will be better to start the muscles early to make it almost effortless by the time any yoga session begins. The first essential requisite for all yoga enthusiasts to master is proper posture. This can sound easy, yet most people find it to be the hardest to master. Once the body immerses itself to this habit of proper posturing, it will be undemanding from there onwards. As the various postures, or as they call it asana, become more and more difficult, the limbs become stronger and flexibility comes naturally.
