If you don’t use it you lose it!

The WORSE thing for the body is inactivity

What hurts you the most is sitting around on your butt not doing anything. Activity is essential to life, movement is life! We are movement creatures, we were designed to move and be active. We were not designed to sit on our backside for 12 plus hours per day.

With that said many of our lives in modern society dictate and demand that we be sat down for extended periods of time throughout the day. The majority of jobs and occupations today involve being pretty sedentary. And therefore this makes it even more essential, even more necessary to make activity and exercise part of your daily and weekly routine!

If you do not use it you lose it. Muscles unused atrophy away, strength decreases, flexibility reduces, bones become weak and fragile, posture deteriorates and metabolism slows. All of these things combine and accumulate to course many of today’s major physical complaints and conditions. Sickness, illness, tiredness, overweight, over fat, obesity, injuries, back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain and many chronic diseases are all a result of inactivity and poor health. All of these things can be reduced and even avoided with the right amount and the correct types of regular physical activity and just a small amount of focus and attention to a person’s dietary habits.

All the symptoms listed above a an effect of the decisions and actions people make or fail to make on a regular and consistent basis just as a strong, lean, fit, healthy and youthful person full of energy has these things because of the decisions and actions they make on a consistent and ongoing basis. Those who fail to use their bodies will always pay the price. While those who commit to use their bodies regularly reap the rewards and the benefits.

It is simple cause and effect.

I strongly urge you to read book Pain Free: A Revolutionary Method for Stopping Chronic Pain by a man named Pete Egoscue. Pete founded and created the Egoscue Method and his book is so inspiring and informative to the many benefits and reasons to get, be and stay active long term and he offers techniques and methods to live a long pain free live full of movement through the use of low intensity corrective exercises.

If you don’t want to lose what you have but grow and gain a even better body than you have now then I encourage you to get moving now. Try to include 15-30 minutes of light activity and exercise into your daily routine such as walking, cycling, swimming or rebounding and be sure to perform at least 30 minutes of vigorous exercise 3 to 4 times per week, ideally some form of resistance training to place a demand on muscle tissue.

Until next time
