EXERCISE - MAKING A FRESH START

There are so many different types of exercise groups around now, from the gentle but positive T'ai Chi Ch'uan to the strenuous 'Circuit Training' routines, that it makes the choice bewildering. However, you cannot go straight into an advanced or even intermediate level exercise class if you are unfit. Therefore you should choose a class which offers a simple routine which you can take at your own pace (like Boxy-cise(copyright) , Level One: a T'ien Ti Tao group.). Which ever type of class is chosen for your own capability level, START SLOWLY! It is a fact that almost all practitioners do not realise just how many changes are going on inside the body as well as on the outside. Disregard of the changes that occur through exercise can cause symptoms of a subtle nature.


Fatigue is a familiar symptom caused through incorrect exercise. If this is what your exercise class does to you then this is detrimental rather than beneficial. Either you or your instructor is doing something wrong. A good exercise class will leave you warm, slightly aching (probably the next day or two after) and feeling better. You should not feel totally worn out, be staggering with exhaustion or your muscles burning so much that you cannot walk straight! So often it is a case of 'out of sight, out of mind', with both the practitioner and the instructor. The 'internal' factor is ignored totally by most people, even 'qualified fitness and health' instructors!


All instructors should be concerned about their knowledge of the exercises and the long and short term effects on both the body, bioenergy and the mind. There can be no excuse for poor instruction. Once a student finds out, often the hard way, that the instructor has an apparent lack of understanding or caring, they can rarely be forgiven by the student (who might have acquired a life-long injury). However, it is possible that an instructor himself/herself has been taught the neccessary points but omits them in favour of more exhibitionistic traits.

Possibly the student misinterprets the instruction, or does not listen carefully enough and causes injury by incorrect practice at home. It should be remembered by all of todays fast moving, go-getting, never have time for anything folks that the human body was not built in a day. It took nine months and that was just the beginning! After that came years of tender loving care and nurturing, feeding it the right things, then keeping it clean, burping it when gas or air was trapped and nursing it better after little wobbles, scrapes and imbalances. All this took at least ten years. So tell me cousin, how are you going to change your body for a better one in a matter of weeks or even months ? Keep in mind that muscles are 'external' and can deteriorate very quickly and muscle size does not affect internal strength.

A few people who after reading this far will say, "What's he trying to do, put people off by saying it takes ages to get anywhere? He should sell it on things like 'easy to do' and 'quick to learn'...". Well, the one thing I do not want to do is con you. There is no such thing as 'quick and easy routes to total health and fitness' and never will be. You cannot rush the body's internal processes. So, all I am saying is:
DO NOT RUSH INTO NEW EXERCISE.
SET REALISTIC GOALS IN ACHIEVABLE STEPS.
STICK TO EACH STEP AND ONLY MOVE UP WHEN FIT ENOUGH.
