SEVEN KINDS OF EXERCISE
Exercise: In simplistic terms, there are seven kinds of exercise:
1. Slow rhythmic movement exercise. This is mainly walking. The body is designed to walk, for long distances, and for long periods of time.Walking is probably the most important form of exercise you can do, and the healthiest compared to driving, which increases stress. Now let's think about this for a moment. When you drive a car your stress levels go up dramatically, which means your body becomes acidic.When you go for a walk, not only are you getting the benefits of the exercise of the slow rhythmic movement, your lymphsystem is getting toxins out of your body, the body is moving and flowing beautifully, the energy is flowing through the meridians, and you are grounding your feet on the earth, allowing for the earth's magnetic energy to flow though your body, energizing your cells. You are also actually looking out and externalizing through your eyes at far away distances, which increases the lectromagnetic energy in your body and makes the body more alkaline and less susceptible to disease. It also has a profound effect on your state of mind and happiness factor. The lack of walking causes the body's elimination channels to become slow and sluggish.
2. Stretching. Your body consists of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. If you lived in a natural setting, interacting with nature as we are designed, the natural activities you would be doing throughout your day would cause the frequent stretching of your ligaments, muscles and tendons. Lack of flexibility allows for negative energy and toxins to accumulate in various parts of your body, allowing toxicity to build up.
3. Resistance exercise. This includes any form of movement where resistance is put against a muscle, and the muscle is required to push or pull against the resistance. The most common form of resistance training is weight lifting or the use of resistance machines. This is an unnatural form of exercise Weight training can increase the size and strength of muscles, reshaping your body and making you look great. However, it generally only works with the muscles that are seen and does not address the majority of muscles that have no aesthetic value. It also does not address the strength of ligaments and tendons. This can create an imbalance, where some muscles are strong and abnormally large, and other muscles, ligaments and tendons are weak and disproportionate in size. Weight training does not increase flexibility-it actually reduces flexibility, thus hindering the flow of energy through the body. Nevertheless, doing any form of exercise is better than doing none at all.
4. Postures. There are certain exercise regimes where you are put into postures that are held for a period of time. The most commonly known is yoga. Keep in mind there are many forms of yoga.Not all kinds of yoga are posture based. Some yoga techniques are fluid and movement oriented. The benefits of postures are that they seem to help open up the natural energy channels in the body, and stimulate internal organs.
5. Aerobic exercise. Aerobic means "with air." Any form of exercise where you are breathing heavily but can still have a conversation is aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise stimulates blood flow throughout the body, oxygenates the body and speeds the elimination of toxins.
6. Anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic means "without air." Any form of exercise where you are breathing so hard you can barely talk is anaerobic. The benefits are, generally, a tremendous
stimulation of your entire system because, in effect, you are putting the survival of every cell in your body at risk because of the lack of oxygen. This is very helpful in "reprogramming the body" and allowing the body to increase its elimination of toxins and stop any cellular activity that was abnormal.
7. Cellular exercise. At this time there is only one form of exercise that actually affects, in a positive way, every cell in the body simultaneously. Jumping on a mini-trampoline, also known as a rebounder, has been shown to stimulate and strengthen every cell in the body. This unique form of exercise dramatically increases the movement through the lymph system, stimulates every cell's elimination of toxins, and increases the strength and vitality of every cell in the body .
