YOU SHOULD KNOW!
Practice Does Not Make It Perfect…As You Exercise To Think.
Exercise involves repetitive movements - correct movements that should feel right?
When exercise is being done incorrectly, it will become a practice of a bodily habit from not being “conscious” when exercising. Through one’s time of exercising, this evolves into a continual unfavorable action that your body will be enduring.

One must consider this:
Practice does not make it Perfect. When physical actions are not correctly performed and not immediately corrected, our own thinking of doing “right” conditions our body into doing something “wrong” leading to unseen unhealthy circumstances.
To some extent of this fact, this will become the truth of its outcome. It becomes permanent.

This vital learning comes from and was always emphasized to me by (in my opinion) the greatest Olympic Weight-lifters of all time, Mr. Tommy Kono.

Mr. Kono points out, “If the exercise movement is performed incorrectly for twenty one days, the body will adapt to it then eventually it will accept it as it is practiced. For every incorrect repetition you have completed, three correct repetitions must be done to change the pattern of “body memory compartment.”
If you have completed 12 incorrect repetitions, you need to perform 36 correct ones.
This advice of knowledgeable learning must be taken in with deep consideration and appreciation from a person like Mr. Kono. This by itself should bring a conscious awareness to examine your exercise performance.

So are we or have we been aware of this unfavorable action of practice?
Usually one of the causes of this adverse action comes from the “illusion technique syndrome.”
Commonly known as “the monkey see monkey do”, conduct of practice.
Keep in mind that monkeys still fall out of trees. Some, more times than others will keep falling out.
When our form and functions become unfit, our body will quietly tolerate to accept the subtle, accumulative, abusive unhealthy physical practice that you have administered and influenced by simply doing.
The manner of an unconscious behavior creates a bad habit of practice. Through a mixture of time and improper actions, this will surely be felt in the signs of bodily communication from discomfort, to soreness to pain and finally a lack of motivation to exercise. Your direction of health went the wrong way. And who is the driver?

All of this or even some of this can be avoided or prevented. Making the time to learn and teaching yourself how to properly understand the applications of exercise for better inner health and fitness will be the source in providing to you the health needed to continue an active enjoyable life time of exercising. Wouldn’t you like to try and make that permanent?
It has been said, “It is impossible to change what has been done.”
But (even the health-in-physical exercise) it is possible to change from what can be done.



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 others functions at the present moment of doing your exercises. If 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.
