Need a Male Opinion
Lance,
(This is kind of long, so I highlighted some key words).
Thanks for your support, guys!
Some new agers have all of these massage techniques and stuff to help improve the "energy flow" in their bodies to maybe feel good and stay well. My theory is that mixing a variety of exercise - stuff that involves balance and flexibility, stuff that gets the heart rate really high - also stimulates the nervous system and helps you to feel good and keep exercising.
For a while there, I was only doing weights, swimming and jogging. But I noticed that swimming, was making me feel good in a way that the others didn't. Keeping my torso straight in the water during freestyle and backstroke was doing something to me that was different from the rest. , I expanded to sprints and an Indo Board (juggler's balance board on a pipe). Then, I added yoga and Karate moves ( a lot of this came from P90X). The handstands are yoga moves, but in a way they are better than weight training, because they are repeatedly forcing me to hold 170 lbs above my head.
I don't know about the "energy flow" theories, but I do know that using the torso and other core muscles, such as those in the hips and those inside the upper thigh and anything that involves balance or stretching will help you to feel good (just closing your eyes and trying to balance on the ball of your foot will make these muscles feel good). And even more important is finding activity that you enjoy.
The latest dimension has become helping others who are aging and getting fat or unhealthy. I've found a couple of P90X and swimming partners who are workaholics and who need to workout with me to maintain their health. Last night, a coworker and I did a DVD called CardioX which has yoga, karate, jump training and core work all in one 50 minute workout.Then, there's hot yoga where there are all of these athletic women working out around me - nuff said!
Find cardio activity that you like and find interesting core or balance activity that you like and then, when you've found it, help others to maintain their health, that's the only thing I can suggest. That's the closest I can come to "bottling it."
Best Wishes,
Dave
