DemonKia -> RE: What are you thinking? (4/24/2009 3:58:40 PM)

I'm a mean evil demon so I'm gonna try to make fluffy think about exercise one more time today:
Slow controlled movements, above all else in working out, go for slow carefully controlled movements . . .. You will reduce your risk of injury & you will increase the 'exercise efficiency' of whatever you're doing . .. . .
Ignore all the others rushing to get their work-outs done, or whatever, & think about all those tai-chi people, moving slowly, carefully, precisely . ... . .
[:D]
Try it for yourself: do a bicep curl or something very simple -- do a few reps fast & sloppy, don't worry about form; versus doing a few repetitions very very slowly, watching your 'form' precisely . . . . . . Notice how much harder it is to do the exercise slowly . . .. . Notice how much faster the burn comes on . . . .. .
The fast rushing types are not getting as much out of their work-out as the slow careful types . . . . .
The above is especially true of weight-lifting . . .. . . But it's true of most athletic endeavors; my favorite athletes are professional dancers, & dancing at that level is all about precise use of their instruments, that is, their bodies . .... . .
Ummmm, yep, I am the demon who likes working out . .. . . ..
