Time’s biggest physical threat to us is Un-Refined Gravity. Gravity, wantonly hitting us will relentlessly drag us into destructive posture.
To wit, this week’s lesson is on utilizing Gravity with a new term: POSTURE-BALANCE
POSTURE-BALANCE is the critical element you need to stay pain-free and muscularly young.
Our Anatomy kindly furnishes us with all we need to contend with gravity: Skeletal thickenings at our skull, shoulder, hip, knees, and ankles along with “Squishy”, open muscles. (See PowerWire #9)
All we have to do to avoid being worn down by gravity (and actually capitalize on it) is adjust our shape as needed when performing life’s actions.
The reason we care so much about POSTURE is because, done right, POSTURE is what OPPOSES gravity and HARNESSES its potential within our muscles.
. This is where “POSTURE-BALANCE” comes in. The best posture is Rapidly Adjusting Posture. The Bodily Adjusting we do to painlessly take advantage of gravity while on the move is called “BALANCE”.
The POSTURE-BALANCE connection is nicely analogized by the animation Flip-book. A Flip-Book is a book of individual drawings whichis “read” by flipping the pages rapidly animating the pictures within.
Life is complicated because even as the ground beneath us changes, Gravity changes NOT! We need smooth access to lots of Postures to get through life! As flipping gives life to the Flip-Book, Balance brings life to Posture.
POSTURE-BALANCE is the dynamic tuning process we use to arrange muscles, skeleton and core to oppose and harness gravity pain-free as we go – Especially for the fun stuff such as running, swinging a golf club or skiing down a mountain –
we Without the ability to change shape on the run, we become a Flip Book stuck on one page! The spectrum of activities we can do gets smaller and smaller – We physically age.
POSTURE-BALANCE is the critical ingredient to all things athletic! If you want to enjoy better, safer POSTURE, you must TRAIN BALANCE.
The Ranks’ Personal Trainer Education Knows Posture, Knows Balance and Knows combining both enriches your life with more freedom and fun.
