Health
Health is strength. Health is ability. Health requires work.
Health is actually a career. We all want to be healthy. Health requires
sacrifices be made. One cannot eat whatever they want if health is central to
their philosophy. Everything must be factored in to meet health needs. Being in
the moment is what health is. If we are not healthy now, we must change every
habit. Strength and health are one in the same. If measurable strength is not
improving adjustments must be made.
Strength is a matter of evolution. We apply measurable
stress to achieve a particular end. Innovation is rational. This is the
artistic side of the equation. The science is explicit. Logic is very, very,
important. Define strength and make certain your designation is real. Exteriors
will always depart. Measurement is part of the process. Photography can be
altered. Appearances are weak goals use them as secondary goals if you must
address appearances. Strength is measurable.
Goals service progress. Short term goals service long term
goals. Set a goal which is demanding yet achievable. Write them down. Look at
them frequently. Imagination is making the science fit individual needs. Break
goals down into sub-goals or short term goals. When a short term goal is not
achieved adjust and keep moving forward. This does not mean ignoring the
failure; needs. Driven imagination is when dreams are realized. The
sub-conscious is a useful tool. Rehearse, or train, your sub-conscious each
night before you sleep. Ask how will I fix my problem? Allow the sub-conscious
to work on your dreams while you sleep. This is difficult for those trying to
keep up with the Joneses. How will you know what the Joneses are doing? Your
goals must be yours. Compete with yourself only. This is how champions train.
It must be a part of every cell in your body, mind, and soul. Competing with
another is hollow. You will lose your substance training to compete with
others. Train and be the best you can be. Training is measurable.
Yin and Yang are complete. They balance one another. Be like
water. Strong and adjustable. Be in the moment aware and not reactive unless
the circumstances require action. Lose the training done in childhood which do
not serve your current goals. I cringe when I hear adults telling children not
to pick something up because it is too heavy. “You will hurt yourself.” Being
conservative creates mediocrity. Teach children how to pick things up properly.
If it is actually too heavy instruct them to get help. Do not teach them to be
weak. Teach children to be strong. Sometimes strength needs help. Stubbornness
is never asking for help or admitting weakness. We must admit weakness to
improve strength. Strength is comprehensive. Most things are.
Let us create an argument now. Imagine high blood pressure
is a current problem. No cardiovascular work has been practiced. Ignoring the
problem makes it chronic. A solution to this problem is a systematic
application of cardiovascular and strength work. Exhaling during the concentric
phase of a lift is born of blood pressure regulation. Blood pressure elevates
to push blood through a pressurized system. Muscles are tight during work and
require more pressure to transport nourishment across capillary beds. Cardiovascular work lowers blood pressure as a matter of duration. It is not efficient to
pressurize the systems for long
Another example is imbalanced development at any joint. Say
the elbows are too biceps oriented. All development ceases at joints when
ratios of strength are unbalanced. The biceps do not need to be as strong as
the triceps but they must be within a scope. Ignoring the disproportion will
cause problems assuming high performance is our goal. Do a little triceps work and
make the system efficient again.
Corrective exercises have been hyped as recent discoveries.
Physical therapy and balanced training have always been used by elite athletes
in sport. Corrective exercises should occupy no more than 10% of training. Do
not have confidence in the apprentice yet. Trainers are beginners for the first
ten years of a career. Training is not based on fads. “There is nothing as
disgusting as fashion. It is so disgusting we need to change it every year.”
Training is health-care. We can train for endurance. We can
train for strength. It is a systematic application of stress which allows an
organism to adjust in a meticulous manner. I was diagnosed as diabetic over
forty-five years ago. My doctor told my parents to make me an active kid or a
diabetic. They chose the former and I am forever grateful. My muscular insulin
receptors are trained and pick up glucose from the bloodstream. I do not have
problems with diabetes. Nutrition is a training tool as well. I train and
manage diabetes. Training sanctions management of most things physical. If I
could train the pancreas and make it produce insulin again I would. I have type
1 diabetes. This is an avenue available for some type 2 diabetics. I train and
am healthier as a result.
