Natural Movement


Movement is medicine, there are loads of diseases associated with the modern lifestyle of sitting and transport. Cavemen did not have personal trainers and modern science, all they did was move in nature and they probably had less fitness related disease than us.

The Natural way of moving is using muscles in an coordinated way through real space and engaging the core, this activates more muscles. Weight machines don't do this but calisthenics do, and so do most free weight exercises. 

Jogging in real space is also better than the motorized treadmill, as the motor is doing the work for the hamstrings and glutes so they are not activated as much as the quads and hip flexors. Its imbalanced training, the same can be said for exercise bikes, as the glutes are not activated fully and the working muscles are working in a shortened range of motion. 

For me brisk walking, jogging, swimming, and sprinting are good.

You can buy some treadmills that do not use motors.

 Modern day transport and sitting time

We sit a lot in the modern day, cars, ships, trains, planes, cycles, and then sit at work, school, home and then sleep.

Movement and walking are diminishing, hence why we have so much diseases and deconditioned people around. All this sitting and lack of movement is leaving our muscles tight, weak and easily fatigued. Even if you stand all day at work in one.

If you are at work or study every 45 mins get up and walk about for 5 mins and open your body.

High heels are not natural, they cause imbalances, they keep Shin muscles long and weaken them, and make the calves tight and overactive, this can damage Achilles tendon and cause foot pain and destabilise the knee joint and even alter spine health, which can cause tension headaches. 

Sunshine is the world’s energy source, nothing survives without it, the human body is made to absorb the sun. Loads of soothing factors come from the sun and so do some vitamins. Hence why night workers die younger.

Eat healthy and nutrious whole foods.

Interment fasting is good for you, so that is eating in an 8-hour window, this allows, sugar levels and hormone levels to go back to normal. Total water fasting has cured many diseases from blood pressure, metabolic syndrome and diabetes type 2. But please book you self into a retreat where you will be monitored by professionals.
