What it is
One-sided repetitive exercise is an isolated movement of the skeleton to achieve a very limited number of muscles (including any other), repeated dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions, and ultimately time and time again in the hope of health and fitness. "Single" refers to the linear one-dimensional aspect of the movements.

As mentioned above, are examples: running, cycling, strength training machines and countless filling every gymthroughout the country. Each of these activities are working a few muscles, from the many, crossing the joints and hinges. Golf also falls into this category, the literal one-sided nature of this activity is clear. Over time, as a result of always with the body, turned and twisted to one side, there are fine to coarse shifts in the structure to make the hip to report to, such as neck, shoulder, arm, SI joint, low, middle or upper back, etc. .. pain.

The Danger
The risk ofone-sided repetitive exercise is first conceptually what happens to the muscles and the skeleton, if you understand the work.

All muscles (I am using muscles I here generically, if there really is no soft tissue) to bone across all muscles joints associated bone. If a muscle is under load it is stronger. In the wake of increasing it contracts and bulks up, becoming shorter and thicker. Therefore, we can observe the rounded, well-defined muscles of a bodybuilder. Thoseshortened, bulked-up, tight muscles Tighten the 2 (or more) bones connect them closer together. There are always more than one muscle above a certain joint, the joint is compressed, never balanced, always asymmetrical.

It is this asymmetric compression of the joints and hinges of the skeleton that all the problems resulting from the fact distort and symptoms of structural aging (). This includes, but is not limited to: general stiffness and pain, lack ofMobility, reduced performance / It is difficult to move, stress / strains / tears in the soft tissues, cartilage deterioration, damage to windows, and all other structural injuries.

One-sided repetitive exercise creates tense muscles, but they are only a symptom of the real problem. When the skeleton is pulled out of alignment, out of balance, altered the quality of movement and reduces the possibilities of movement in kind. The harder you train or work out, the faster speeds along the process;a wonderful example of a vicious circle, or a step forward and two steps back.

This phenomenon can be in a runner's legs to watch. Running is one-sided repetitive exercise, over time, turn the legs out of alignment, asymmetric compression of the feet, ankles, knees, hips and lower back for starters. Even with an untrained eye can look at the legs of a hard-nosed runner and you will see this obvious bias in the work.

Try this with a runner orCyclists: Place feet hip distance of the medial arches in a (not too wide) and parallel (each other) position. Slowly bend at the knees, and look where to go to his knees. Each knee towards the opposite foot. This clearly shows the degree of distortion that will be taken, very bad with every step, twist the leg more out of shape and direct concern and putting strain on the lower back and sacroiliac joints. It does not stop there, can not stop,because we can not draw a part of said structure (or more accurately, the fascial web) out of place without the rest of it.

Try this: Wrap a piece of your shirt around your finger and watch what happens, think through the rest of the tissue, you could the whole shirt under a microscope when you are doing this. This is done by the whole body, in every conceivable direction, moment to moment, magnified and exacerbated by all of the exercise, and above all, repetitiveExercises.

We want to believe, to relieve us from any responsibility that cause injury, such as illness, is something that simply happens to us. The fact that we are quite good, cruising along, make nothing wrong, and then we only hurt, like winning an anti-lottery. We do not "get" a violation not more than we "get" a disease, we create them through concentrated neglect and abuse our bodies. They are the culmination of symptoms testimony to the natural laws that we violated blatantly,either our ignorance or our naivete.

When I speak of injuries here, I'm not on the impact of injuries, I am to injuries that cause structural distortions from chronic muscle strains and pulls national, and degenerated joints and the tissue around them. These are the constant companions of the athletes, which persists in demanding (usually, but not limited to, repetitive) exercise, and who has never achieved functional flexibility in his (her) own body. The treatment of these symptomswith surgery, medication or more increase (reduction) exercise is a quick fix at best, with questionable results, and ultimately only the original problem.

The missing link in all activities is rife in our culture is flexibility. Flexibility is not only the body's ability to move in strange, rubbery manner. The main reason you want to achieve, and remain flexible, because it reverses the distortion of the skeleton caused by excessive shortening of muscles anddecompresses the poor, beat up joints.

Done properly, the real flexibility of work shall distorted skeleton, decompressed asymmetrically compressed joints, and takes the stress and strain of the soft tissues. It re-hydrates cartilage abused, rinsing it out and fluff it. It opens blocked pathways of fluid and energy flows. It synchronizes all aspects of your being, so that healing to take place at all levels with ease.

Sounds like conventional stretching toYou? Well, it is not. Some other kind of work is required with the body, something to do all of the above will, and much more.
