“Did You Know…Part Three”
“There is exercise-intelligence.
…But do we know how to sense its presence when exercising ?”

WOULD YOU KNOW?
You Have Two Postures. …And You Do Display This When and How You Exercise.

The two postures of health and physical fitness is a structure of function, which can also work the opposite way, which contributes to acquiring better inner health and achieving optimum fitness.

There is the physical posture (the vertebral column) and the mental posture (the attitude).
The course of access for substantial healthier productive achievements during the time of exercising is realizing that the structures of the two postures reflect to compliment each other’s functions at the present moment of doing your exercises.
When there are improper postures, surely there will be inappropriate functions and a present state of a condition is displayed.
There is many a time when he or she has no knowledge of this occurring.
This can be witnessed by quietly observing people exercising in the fitness gyms.
But you need to know what it is you are looking for.

By bringing into being aware of having ideal postures helps to open the channels and passageways of energy (the spinal canal, the central nervous, respiratory and circulatory systems) throughout the entire human body not only when exercising but during work and home time.
When one is feeling good, you stand upright and breathe slow and deep.
This posture creates a moment of health because it opens you up.

When you are not feeling well or you are emotionally bothered, you slouch or hunch over and breathe shallow. This closes you down. (More about breathing is coming up.)

It is your postures that can regulate your energy levels of the mind as well as the body.
When exercising, this is essential because of the energy that is put into exercising training. What one uses needs to be replenish and not because of muscle fatigue but because on the internal systems that governs giving life to your entire body.

A healthy example of exercise-posture and stressing to create a healthy posture is the Chinese art of Tai Chi and Qi Qong. The participants of these two physical exercises must learn to make the connection of their internal postures to the inner outer motions of practice.
There is a connection of action, reason, expression that formulates for having these two postures. (Not only during a person’s time in exercise but rather the whole of living one’s lifetime.)
A good physical posture can blend in with gravity.
A healthy mental posture can blend well in life.
One must take a “healthy stand” on creating support and stability so to move well when physically exercising for better inner health and functional fitness.




YOU HAVE TO KNOW…
The Most Essential Movement of Exercise Is Not Openly Practiced.

AIR…The unseen substance of life enters only by the breath.
There is no greater substance for the need for the human body, and a life of a human being than air.
Many do not seem to recognize the essential need of right breathing that must be applied to their active daily living and in relation to selected exercise training routines.

Breathing efficiently opens the passageways of the “inner foundation” for conscious exercising.
Breathing helps to regulate our human functional inner life systems and controls to keep one, if aware, in control of their exercise movements.
The natural human functioning of inhaling and exhaling performs like the ticking of a clock…displaying and extending our time of being alive.
With the right way of exercising and using correct breathing pattern, this helps to improve energy capacity proficiency.
The lack of incorrect breathing mechanism can reduce the appropriate efficiency and effective capabilities to sustain steady blood flow. The carrier of oxygen that touches every part of inside your body is the very “force” of moving your life in the presence of life.

The western way of breathing with progressive exercise has not been taught the healthiest way as of yet. The way that people breathe is not totally incorrect. At least they are breathing. But how they breathe does put a little more stress on the body than using the right breathing to lessen the resistance in the body. Especially when using weight resistance equipment as part of your exercise routine.
The healthiest way of keeping healthy when exercising with weights is working by the “path of least resistance.” This path is created by how one breathes to exercise.

Learning, understanding and practicing correct breathing certainly will help to raise your awareness.
This keeps you involved to what it is you are doing in the present moment.
Seek to learn why you breathe and study to understand how to breathe.
Exercise the right pattern of breathing so to keep fully alive while living your life.

It is time to give exercise programs and routines a “New Breath” toward better inner health.
And significantly of all, by this, it will help people to become conscious that their very time of existence is destined simply by the quality of how well one breathes to be.

This short-article “DID YOU KNOW?” is taken from the manuscript:
The Offering – H E L P: Healthy Exercise Learning Process
 
I liked this article very much, I've had problems with posture in the past it's gotten better with time but I still find that I need correction when doing certain exercises.

Upon correcting my form I do sense a more natural flow of air into my body as was before it was kind of irregular. From something as little as the angle of your head while exercising. is it too high? too low? slighty askew? When I began to pay more attention to my breathing as well as my posture, I saw that I could make my wrkts go longer but it's still a process and I know I have a lot more to learn. Thanks again for this article it was very helpful and insightful.
 
Aloha Gymjunky!
Much Mahalo's (Thanks) for your reply.

When I had to try understand and learn "proper-breathing" when exercsing, my teacher would say "Work with your body...Not On your body."
There is always the living-relationship and it starts from inner-to-outer and back again.
There is no divison, no divorcing you and your body's living-giving relationship.

I look forward in the near future to "talk-story" (conversate) with you.
Oh, the "process" never-ends as long as you are still breathing and
moving!
Aloha for now...mikey
 
As I am typing and re-reading your article I find that I have to stay mentally alert NOT to slouch, as I've been doing that unconsciously & continuously so I do a quick snap & pop! & str8in it right away! sometimes as I'm working out I get so zoned that I forget about my surrondings (which is a good thing) and also my posture (which is not) I need to be/get more in tune with my body.
 
HowZit Again!

There is a term we use when teaching/sharing exercise info - "conscious-awareness" when actually exercising.

Most replies about this "conscious-awareness" is that it means the same thing. Nooooot really when physically doing.
Example. We walk-up a flight of stairs. We "consciously" know we are but are we "aware" how many steps we are taking?
We know we are exercising but are we "aware" in "how" we are breathing, standing, sitting, moving, feeling"?
When we are, we are "in-tune" by staying in-touch to the rhythms of life within us.
For me, breathing is the constant reminder that we start with health and end in health ;in one breath we set our posture that directs the energy to flow throughout the entire body like the waters of a stream, river, and ocean.

I don't know how long you have exercising but we are human and will tend to forget...but when you "catch" yourself this is a sign your "awareness" that inturn is called "Body-Wisdom

Oh, I forgot to mention, when ever I "share" information, It Is NOT Absolute...our reality is different.

Much Mahalo's for making time to "talk-story."
Aloha for now...mikey
