The Power Of Corrective Exercise Santa Cruz CA

By Donna Wood


Getting to middle age rings alarm bells for all of us. The forty, fiftieth and sixtieth birthdays arrive unbelievably fast. We all wonder where the years have gone! We wonder too, why the firm well-shaped body has degenerated into a sagging abdomen, skin that stretching to the limits from overweight, and joints that complain whenever we get out of bed in the morning. But you dont need to worry anymore, the corrective exercise Santa Cruz CA is designed to take care of your needs.

I have realize that it is wrong to teach correct exercise technique for being a trainer for several years and gone through a number of high level corrective exercise courses. I will explain my reasons even though this sound likes a strange thing to say.

The best way to get rid of your gut is by doing sit-ups. Sit ups work by exercising your abdominal muscles which then get stronger and hold your gut in place. This will also give you that stellar abdomen that you have been dreaming about and lessen the weight on your spine.

For example, if you are doing a sit up (crunch) is your core engaged and do you feel your tummy muscles working? Or are your neck, shoulders and lower back doing more of the work. Depending on the individual's fitness and muscle imbalances will depend on their ability and position to perform this exercise.

For those of you who have that gut you are trying to get rid of, you definitely want to get rid of it. Your gut puts a lot of weight on your mid and lower back, affecting your posture as well. As your gut sags down, the weight of all that fat will pull your spine inward, causing to have back pains and even Sciatica pains.

What exercises to do I believe, depends on the individual, as in all things we are all different, with different capabilities. I like swimming after taking it up two years ago after an absence of 40 years from exercising. Swimming is gentle on the body, and best of all you do not have to be able swim.

Walking, and doing simple exercises in a medium that gives resistance to all the muscles, making them work harder! This regular routine has allowed me to climb two flights of stairs without becoming breathless. Something I could not do prior to taking up swimming!

A very sound and hygienic exercise is aquatic therapy in which the patient sits in water for some time. In fact, the water resistance works in the same way as the weights put on the joints outside water. A simple exercise to provide comfort to your feet and help you stand to relax is to move ankles upward and downward for 10 minutes.
