The 5 Phases of Life & Methods to Have Strong Joints

Today’s detailed discussion:
The 5 Phases of Life & Methods to Have Strong Joints

Would you wear a winter coat to the beach in July?
Or swim in freezing water in January?
Feed solid food to a newborn baby?
Eat Junk food when you have health issues in your latter years of life? Probably not, to most of these scenarios.

So why do so many people use high impact exercise methods, when they have weak or injured ankles, knees, hips and back?

Many people have no knowledge of the ancient 5 Element Theory which offers detail of what types of exercise, activities, nutrition, goals, etc. are relative to your age and physical conditions.

Low impact exercises from tai chi, yoga (qigong), and other similar methods offer many benefits for a wide range of individual ranging from seasoned athletes to those injured or rehabilitating from illness.

These exercises have passed the test of time. Yoga/qigong (origins in 3300-1500 BCE), Asian Martial Arts (origins of 4-5 century AD), Tai Chi (origins in 12th century AD). These practices have endured because they produce results for those that take them seriously.

Increase Your Mobility & Stability

Many of you who have known me over the years, know me to be a bit passionate and meticulous about my studying, practicing and teaching of martial arts and various wellness methods. I can attribute my quest due to the following facets of diligent martial arts and mind/body/spirit training:

– Moving the body within the 3 anatomical planes (coronal, sagittal & transverse)
– Exercising the body’s 600+ muscles
– Strengthening the body’s 200+ bones
– Stretching of the 12 fascial lines
– Moving and strengthening the 33 vertebrae
– Getting the organs moving by engaging the core muscles
– Rehabilitation of injuries (knees, back, neck and shoulders)
– Boosting of the immune system
– Relieving stress and anxiety
– Learning to see one’s self as others see me through mindful exercises
engaging the mind, body and self-awareness
– and many more benefits.

Find a method of exercise that works for you and do it consistently. Let me know if you need help getting moving.

Be well and stay healthy.

Dynamic Tension – Tai Yu

Dynamic tension – using your own body to create resistance for building strength, flexibility, balance, etc. Watch and follow along this set called Tai Su.

As we all continue to age, the focus should change somewhat from the cosmetic attraction of a lean and toned physique to that of structurally sound and healthy internal systems. Most people don’t ail from weak biceps, or un-toned stomach and chest muscles. It is the health underneath that is most important.

The goal is not to get a strenuous high-impact physical workout, but rather to build strength in all of the muscles, joints, bones, fascia and all other components of the human body. These exercises can be practiced aerobically (moving) to more engage the circulatory system or anaerobically (holding each posture) with deep and deliberate breathing to engage the parasympathetic nervous system.

These exercises have passed the test of time. Yoga/qigong (origins in 3300-1500 BCE), Asian Martial Arts (origins of 4-5 century AD), Tai Chi (origins in 12th century AD).

These practices have endured because they produce results for those that take them seriously.

Tao Yin – Swallow Returns to Nest (moving qigong) detailed instruction

Today’s online exercise: Tao Yin – Swallow Returns to Nest

A side effect of the current pandemic crisis – some people have started to realize that good health is not all about the location, the equipment, the gear, the clothes, the look.

Staying healthy is a state of mind; a matter of choice. What you do or where you do it is not as important as finding a method of exercise that you can do consistently.

The goal here is not to get a strenuous high-impact physical workout, but rather to build strength in all of the muscles, joints, bones, fascia and all other components of the human body. These exercises can be practiced aerobically (moving) to more engage the circulatory system or anaerobically (holding each posture) with deep and deliberate breathing to engage the parasympathetic nervous system.

These exercises have passed the test of time. Yoga/qigong (origins in 3300-1500 BCE), Asian Martial Arts (origins of 4-5 century AD), Tai Chi (origins in 12th century AD).

People Don’t Ail From Lack of Muscle Tone

Toned arms, a flat stomach, a well sculpted physique – are all very nice to have, at the very least on the cosmetic level. However, lack of these are not the leading causes of death. Healthy internal organs and their various bodily functions are the foundation of wellness.

There are major difference between fitness, health and wellness.

Fitness focuses on your physical health including nutrition, strength, conditioning, flexibility, and body composition with specific markers based on body size, gender, body type, training style, and training age. Fitness is a component of wellness, but wellness isn’t a component of fitness.

Health is a state of being – physical, mental, and social well-being. Primary determinants of health include the social, economic, and physical environments, and individual characteristics and behaviors.

Wellness (well-being) includes fitness but it’s broader. Wellness considers all of your choices and how they create your entire lifestyle. Wellness includes many facets, and looks at the way they interact to create balance or imbalance. Think of wellness as a web, then plucking it one part creates reverberations across the rest.

Wellness is the state of living a healthy lifestyle. Wellness is considered a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential. Wellness is multidimensional and holistic, encompassing lifestyle, mental and spiritual well-being, and the environment. Wellness is finding a balance between all of these and enhancing a sense of happiness.

The leading causes of death in the US for 2017-2018 (from the CDC):

1) Heart Disease

2) Cancer

3) Unintentional injuries

4) Chronic lower respiratory disease

5) Stroke and cerebrovascular diseases

6) Alzheimer’s disease

7) Diabetes

8) Influenza and pneumonia

9) Kidney disease

10) Suicide

The path to good or poor health doesn’t happen overnight.

Which Path Are You On
