Exercise can really do wonders for your
body — externally and internally — provided you do it right.
I have seen people
complain that a particular movement strains their joints; many have injured
themselves while exercising and others think that their reduced flexibility is
a result of weight training.
Exercise is supposed to
enhance your body. It should affect your health in a positive way, and if it
impacts you adversely, that means you are doing something wrong. It is
important to follow correct body mechanics. Keeping this in mind, I have
devised a biomechanical way of exercise termed BMXStrength. In the
“BMXStrength” or “biomechanics strength” technique, three things are taken care
of:
Posture (your body
should be centrally balanced);
Movement (motion of
joints and muscles during exercise);
Breathing pattern
(inhalation and exhalation while working out).
Let’s talk about your
posture first. Posture actually refers to the alignment and position of your
body against gravity. It is essential to maintain a good posture so that
the force of gravity is shared across your body and a particular joint or connective
tissue is not stressed.
