My Ol’ High School Buddy Joe asked me a tough question on Facebook this week: “What’s your take on the benefits of martial arts like tae kwon do in fighting age related body decline?” DISCLAIMER: I have never practiced tae kwon do, but here is my Face Book friendly advice: Exercise is defined as beneficial stress….exertion inducing desirable adaptations… So if your basketball game, yoga or tae kwon do leaves your various parts killing & aching, you have stress wearing you down – NOT EXERCISE! Does Tae Kwon Do Fight Off Age Related Decline? Maybe, Joe…Maybe Practicing Martial Arts with uneven (bad) posture forces compensations and injury – Not good. Practicing martial arts with good posture builds beneficial strength, flexibility and balance. How we differentiate beneficial stress from all else is by asking, “Is This Training Making Me Straighter?”
RULE: Age Related Decline depends on how long you been living with asymmetrical posture. Happily our Posture maps out the types of stress we need to get straight! Postural Assessment Answers:
- Does your Rotator cuff need Strategic Strength?
- Does your hip need Gluing Energy Deep Tissue Work?
- Are you Core-Connecting to spare your knees and ankles?
- Are you Actively Relaxing Hip Flexors to refine exertion into exercise?
Successfully turning back muscular aging requires self-care with the right restorative methods to get your posture working. The Trick of Ranks Training is weaving your specific restorative work into your physical training of choice!!
- If you’re not using proper restorative methods along the say, then Tae Kwon Don’t!
- If you have your posture bases covered, you are Tae Kwon Doing the Right Stuff for your Muscular Youth!
- We all have to customize our training to make it work for us!li>
 For Today’s Over 39 Year Old, the distinction between just stressing and EXERCISING is more important than ever as healthcare grows more costly. At “The New 39” find out if your exercise is EXERCISE, and how to change if it isn’t
