What The Corrective Exercise Santa Cruz CA Really Means

By Donna Wood


Getting to middle age rings alarm bells for all of us. The forty, fiftieth and sixtieth birthdays arrive unbelievably fast. We all wonder where the years have gone! We wonder too, why the firm well-shaped body has degenerated into a sagging abdomen, skin that stretching to the limits from overweight, and joints that complain whenever we get out of bed in the morning. But you dont need to worry anymore, the corrective exercise Santa Cruz CA is designed to take care of your needs.

I have realize that it is wrong to teach correct exercise technique for being a trainer for several years and gone through a number of high level corrective exercise courses. I will explain my reasons even though this sound likes a strange thing to say.

The fact is that there was a good reason why your teachers often told you to sit up straight in the good old days. The issue is posture. Many of us, lately have slacked off from this regime and thus our posture muscles have also lost their strength. This is why correcting your posture is so important. So, how do you do it?

For example, if you are doing a sit up (crunch) is your core engaged and do you feel your tummy muscles working? Or are your neck, shoulders and lower back doing more of the work. Depending on the individual's fitness and muscle imbalances will depend on their ability and position to perform this exercise.

For those of you who have that gut you are trying to get rid of, you definitely want to get rid of it. Your gut puts a lot of weight on your mid and lower back, affecting your posture as well. As your gut sags down, the weight of all that fat will pull your spine inward, causing to have back pains and even Sciatica pains.

If you do not have a swimming pool, take up walking instead. I think the secret to getting results from your exercises is to make it a part of your day, every day! Don't have time to schedule a regular exercise time? Make the most of opportunities that present themselves everyday. Park your car at the other side of the shopping mall and walk to the shops. Get off your bus the stop before you need to get off and walk to the next stop.

Walking, and doing simple exercises in a medium that gives resistance to all the muscles, making them work harder! This regular routine has allowed me to climb two flights of stairs without becoming breathless. Something I could not do prior to taking up swimming!

The same goes for a bench press. It's a very simple exercise in practice but very different in reality. The chest can be difficult to activate when attempting a barbell bench press. Arms, back, shoulders can all be used in this exercise leaving the chest the last muscle to activate. In some cases, I have had to put my clients in some quite unusual positions in order to get them to 'feel' their chest activating and then move into correct alignment gradually. As a result, I get much better results and eventually get my clients moving in the right way.
