Movement Based Exercise - Put a Creative Spin on Your Fitness Program

I want to say that a key element in the very thing that I like to refer to as my "strength culture" concerns the application of utilizing body movements within an effective strength and conditioning program. True fitness can be obtained from the art of moving the body and having the individual learn how to control their own resistance or an applied load through a series of movements. Being creative is a requirement when trying to formulate a workout that is both effective and challenging.

A good example of adding this additional creative "spin" to a workout can be through something as simple as a squat. Most anyone can execute an ordinary free standing squat. Now to progress this specific exercise to something of a more challenging nature one can attempt to squat by adding an additional weight or load. Most people would think of doing something like a traditional barbell back squat. For me I would like to take a different and more "creative" route by including a kettlebell. You can perform a variation of the front squat by performing a kettlebell clean first and then squatting with the weight in hand. Now this is a fairly dynamic spin on the squat, but if I really wanted to add to the exercise I would perform a clean, then press the bell overhead, and then squat with the kettlebell above my head! This is truly a dynamic way to force more body control and overall stability.

Take the time to learn new movements! Learn to focus on being dynamic in your strength training and you will obtain huge results. Feel free to search more of my articles on the explanation of my "strength culture."

Keeping Your Body Sharp by Stimulating it Through Movement!

Have you ever wondered what method of training is best for you to fight off age, to prevent injuries, to maintain functionality, and to look fit and hard well into your elder years? Well if you really want to know then I guess I'm going to have to tell you. You have to know by now that exercise is the purest form of "preventative" maintenance. In other words, it is the best method of doing what is right in the "now" so you don't have problems to fix later!

A common question that I get from people on a day to day basis is "what is the best way to train my body?" I often reply by asking them if they currently do anything to train their body. The truth is that it depends on your goals. However, the most efficient way to maintain the highest level of physical fitness and optimal human performance is to train our bodies through movement based exercise! Now when I say movement I don't necessarily mean going out and running, even though this is fine to do.

What I mean is knowing how to utilize our bodies by functionally lifting against a resistance. This can be done many different ways and on many different levels. What happens by moving a load or resistance with your whole body is that you challenge yourself systemically rather than fatiguing out a specific muscle. The benefit of stimulating your "whole" body is that you stimulate your nervous system which is basically responsible for firing your muscles causing them to move and work in moving that specific load or resistance. This is why I am a fan of certain types of training like kettlebell training, sandbag training, and all free-weights. These forms of resistance programs all keep your body sharp like the fine constructed blade of a samurai sword!

So to beat off old age and to maintain the status of an incredibly built body utilize your ability of functional movement. This is what will keep you healthy and super-fit well into your elder years!
