HOW TO EXERCISE CORRECTLY
                                            .
HIPPOCRATES, FATHER OF MEDICINE, SAID, WE ALL MUST CORRECTLY EXERCISE, DAILY,
TO BE HEALTHY. IF WE DON'T CORRECTLY EXERCISE, DAILY, WE BECOME SICK & AGE
QUICKLY
Hippocrates, Greek physician and the father of medicine, 460-377 B.C., said,
"All parts of the body which have a function, if used in moderation and
exercised, become thereby healthy and well developed and age slowly, but if unused
and left idle, they become liable to disease, defective and age quickly."
GALEN, ANCIENT GREEK PHYSICIAN, TREATED ALL DISEASES SUCCESSFULLY, BY
PRESCRIBING A SPECIFIC EXERCISE FOR EACH PATIENT WITH A PARTICULAR DISEASE
Galen, Greek physician and writer, 130-200 A.D., wrote that he successfully
treated every disease known to mankind at that time, solely by prescribing a
specific exercise for each patient with a particular disease.
EXERCISE CHRONIC DISEASE. REST ACUTE DISEASE
Exercise chronic disease (more than several days duration), but completely
rest and never exercise acute disease (less than several days duration).
DO PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE EXERCISES
Do exercises that are progressively stressful or resistant. When exercising,
muscles should be contracted to their fullest extent and joints should be
carried through their full range of motion. A short period of intense, vigorous
exercise is better than a long period of mild exercise.
DO EXERCISES THAT SUIT YOUR LIFESTYLE
Do exercises that are comfortable and safe, that you enjoy, that suits your
lifestyle, at a convenient facility or program, at a convenient time of day or
night, as frequently as possible, as regularly as possible and that you will
follow throughout your life.
I DO ANAEROBIC EXERCISES DAILY
I anaerobically weightlift daily, 365 days per year, for 2 hours, single
repetitions, with heavy weights. I exercise each major part of my body. I do the
same exercises daily. I use free weights. I exercise at home. I daily do
squats, dead lifts, standing presses, exercise my pectorals, latissimus dorsi,
abdominals, external and internal obliques, triceps, biceps, forearms, wrists,
fingers, neck, trapezius, upper and lower legs, etc. I daily sprint on the Santa
Monica, California, USA streets, on vertical ground, sprint up staircases,
vertically jump and long jump, for 1 1/2 hours. I do "feeling" meditation daily. I
daily take nude sun and air baths. I am 100% paleo raw foodist. I am many
years a senior citizen.
WHAT ARE ANAEROBIC EXERCISES?
Anaerobic exercises are exercises not using oxygen, i.e., without oxygen.
Anaerobic exercise is exercise of such intensity, that you can only do it but
for a few seconds. Do this anaerobic exercise as often as possible.
Concentrate and feelingly meditate on your feet and toes areas, while
standing, while sitting and while lying down. This will help you overcome
dysfunctional toxic stress to those areas. Your toes and feet will help heal, completely
and permanently.
Anaerobic exercises are sprinting, running up stairs rapidly, jumping high,
long and
vertically with intensity, rapid cycling, rapid rowing, rapid swimming,
weight throwing,
weight lifting with low repetitions, hand balancing, gymnastics, chins,
parallel bar dips, roman rings, rope climbing, tubing, bands, pulleys, wrestling
and martial arts.
Anaerobic exercises are intense exercises that can be tolerated for only a
few moments.
They are short bursts of all out activities. They are activities using muscle
groups at high intensities that exceed the body's capacity to use oxygen to
supply energy. They create an oxygen debt by using energy produced without
oxygen. They are activities in which oxygen demands of muscles are so high that
they rely upon an internal metabolic process for oxygen.
ANAEROBIC EXERCISES ARE: ISOTONIC, ISOKINETIC, ISOMETRIC & NEGATIVE OR
ECCENTRIC
Anaerobic exercises are: Isotonic, isokinetic, isometric and negative or
eccentric exercises.
WHAT IS ISOTONIC EXERCISE?

Isotonic exercise involves movement of a constant heavy weight through a full
range of possible movement. It is muscular action in which there is a change
in length of muscle, keeping tension constant. Lifting free weights is a
classic isotonic exercise.
WHAT IS ISOKINETIC EXERCISE?
Isokinetic exercise is exercise in which there is ACCOMMODATION RESISTANCE
and constant speed. Nautilus is a type of isokinetic machine where the machine
varies the amount of resistance being lifted, to match the force curve
developed by the muscle.
Isokinetics is an exercise in which the maximum force of which the muscle is
capable may be applied throughout the range of motion.
WHAT IS ISOMETRIC EXERCISE?
Isometric exercise is static contraction. It is the application of a high
percentage of your existing strength against an unmoving resistance, a fixed
limit. Isometrics entails your pushing against an immovable force, such as another
set of opposing muscles, a wall, building, door, bar, taut rope, towel,
two-ton truck, etc. If you push hard enough, you feel stress on your muscles. A
world famous isometric program is Charles Atlas "Dynamic Tension Course". In
isometrics, each exercise should be practiced at several joint angles.
Training at many angles distributes the strength gains throughout the range
of the
muscle's movement. In isometrics, each hard-as-you-can push or pull should be
held as long as possible, to the point of muscular failure. Isometric
exercises can be done
practically anywhere. They are simple and effective. Isometrics increase the
strength and improve the muscle's tone and shape. Isometric exercise entails
muscular contraction where the muscle maintains a constant length and joints do
not move.
WHAT IS NEGATIVE OR ECCENTRIC EXERCISE?
In negative or "eccentric" exercise, you lower the weight very slowly, at a
smooth steady pace, without interrupting the downward movement. In positive or
"concentric" exercise, you raise the weight at normal speed. In negative
exercise, your muscle is stretching and lengthening while maintaining tension
against resistance. In positive exercise, the muscle is contracting and shortening
against resistance. In negative exercise, you resist pressure and in positive
exercise, you apply pressure. The muscle has the ability to handle more force
during negative exercise than it can during positive exercise.
