Why We Should Exercise

We move very little compared to our ancestors. Thousands of years ago we ran from danger, ran after our food, climbed trees for fruit, walked long distances during changes of season. In other words, we moved for survival. For the first time in history, most of us are living in an environment that does not require motion and movement for survival.

Today we sit all day at work, drive our cars, take the elevator or escalator, come home and watch TV, use our computer, etc. Yet the design of our “normal” bodies remains unchanged. And that design, both in terms of function and its continued maintenance, depends on MOTION.

The more we move, the more we can move. The less we move the less we can move. This lack of movement or exercise results in weakness, back or joint pain and contributes to a variety of diseases. We must learn to recognize that the pain we feel, the stiffness, the lack of energy, the poor balance or the erratic concentration aren’t caused by the passing years, or a bad day at the office. These are correctable symptoms of dysfunction brought on by lack of motion.

The wonderful thing about this is, you got yourself into this condition, that means you can get yourself out of it. How? By taking responsibility. When you recognize the need, the absolute requirement for taking responsibility, you can “turn back the clock” on your body simply by moving or exercising on a regular basis.
FUNCTIONAL EXERCISE is the answer – exercises that stress proper musculoskeletal FUNCTION, achieved through optimal alignment of the human body. Exercises that work your body as an integrated whole. This paired with a specialized strengthening program greatly minimizes the risk of injury while conditioning your body to reach it’s maximum potential. Don’t let pain and limitations keep you from reaching your health and fitness goals. If you don’t have pain FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES can keep your body in alignment thus preventing pain, strengthening and conditioning lean muscle mass and losing weight.
