Energized Through Exercise

A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here

Physically Fit

People are so sedentary they forgot what that feels like to be energized. Inertia is caused by the conveniences of today’s society. From sitting in front of the television, computer, playing videos and parking in front of a desk all day makes body movement an activity that is reserved for limited use.

The human body was designed to be used.It is a fact that the motion produces energy through metabolic processes. In other words energy begets energy. This is what makes you feel energized. When we are not active all human functions slows down. An inactive body robs you of energy. The body in motion is what your circulation depends on it brings oxygen and distributes nutrients to the body including the brain. That is why to prevent or delay dementia exercising is recommended.

Exercise

Exercise has been shown to significantly affect health. What we are talking about is survival not just enhanced health. The mistake that most folks make is they thing hard workouts. This is a fallacy; everyday movement with some extra light exercise is the essential ingredient in being able to have enough energy to feel good. It should not be something you work at, but something that is natural. Body movement is an awkward term that denotes that we should be in motion. Everyone is energized through exercise, which is why couch potatoes have a hard time getting through the day. 

 Restarting the Engine

Remember an object at rest tends to remain at rest. The moment that you start watching one of your favorite televisions shows the process starts. The longer you stay glued to the couch the more it becomes easier and the harder it is to move. It is simply that all processes start to slow down and it is hard to restart them. The older you are the truer this seems.

People may create excuses on why they have no time to work out. They are the ones that are usually stuck on the couch. Conditioning takes many forms and has many purposes. Minimum activity is needed for you to function. There is no way around this. It is necessary at all ages. We see what is happening to the younger generation with less physical activity. Seniors are prone to the effects of a sedentary lifestyle more because it takes its toll faster.

But, in reality it is incorporating movement in the most basic forms. What ever happened to walking, stretching, cleaning, gardening, dancing, and swimming?  Now add to that mixture some strength conditioning and you have a way to become energized. Strength training is something that should be simple. You are not on your way to the Olympics. A good trainer knows how to work out your muscles without overtaxing you. Simple is best, from elastic exercise bands to a pair of weights that are just right for you.
