RE: Living with a Disability
Go on post it if it's good ill promote it for you. I used to be incredibly fit I even pushed myself after having my first child, leg strapped up 30 minutes if home dvd aerobics but it soon took its toll on oh knee so had to stop now I can hardly do anything
I will give your exercises a go and give you a honest reply .
Go on do it :)
The idea is if people do not use muscles those muscles atrophy. They waste away, the human body like most organisms adapts to its local conditions to maintain homeostasis.
Consider a mining operation producing toxic polluted water, they slowly run this polluted water around certain plants, the plants drink up the water and the toxins, then they harvest and destroy the contaminated plants as they release the clean water back into the environs.
When it rains the whole system is useless because the plants just live on the rain water since that takes less energy to use the rain water rather and detoxify the contaminated water. So its the old saying use it or lose it, most humans never use their upper body. Over time those shoulder and arm muscles go on vacation and simply never really come back to hard work.
By slowly working those muscles the body is forced to face an unpleasant reality. The brain is telling those muscles vacation is over, the first days may simply involve holding and pushing or pulling slowly against something. However this isometric contraction starts reprogramming.
Try this place a large towel around your upper back and start pulling and twisting it around. Slowly the muscles will adapt to this new increased demand workload. Remember your muscles are full of waste products and your tendons and ligaments are contaminated with unprocessed acid byproducts and no longer flexible.
As you task your body it will slowly start to remodel those wasted muscles and start to lengthen and strengthen those joints, tendons and ligaments. Just five minutes a day, every day. Since you are never even approaching your boy's maximum potential your chances of injury are minimized which is why you can safely workout every day.
Over time you will go from being able to achieve nothing to being able to achieve something, slowly your body adapts so you just slowly increase how much you do of each exercise over one minute. Sure professional trainers and athletes will tell you its all wrong. Well everyone is entitled to believe something, even to share that opinion.
You are entitled to choose to listen to them or not, you have free will, I just know I am fat and lazy, old and ugly but when I do my exercise program regularly I can feel my body being nicer to me, since I have fibromyalgia its an easy choice for me.
Sit and do nothing for a week and have my muscles start paining and cramping. Workout to strengthen and loosen those muscles etc and have a better week, sure if I got a personal trainer or some more equipment I could do more. But I am just trying to have a better quality of life and live my lazy worthless lifestyle, not run a marathon nor apply to the NASA space program.
In short all I am trying to do is build up enough so I look less like a beach ball, to have enough fitness I can walk to the letter box without breathlessness. My goal is simple, I do not plan on trying to live to 99 years of age, just to be a good useful member of society and have a kool interesting life experience.
So if working out for 300 seconds per day helps me achieve that then i recommend all other fat old ugly lazy people might find it useful as well, which is why I invented and decided to share the 5 minutes a day exercise program : )
