Aerobics

"The word aerobics came about when the gym instructors got together and said:
'If we're going to charge $10 an hour, we can't call it jumping up and down.'"

Rita Rudner is a great comedienne, but to get serious, good aerobics teachers are well worth the fees they charge. There is a lot more to good aerobic teaching then jumping up and down. A lot more. However, there are those students whose circumstances require self-directed home or on-the-job techniques.

With sufficient amounts of properly digested food, good breathing and adequate rest and recovery time, we have an excellent chance of maintaining optimal energy. But because most of us have lost a great deal of "breath-ability," we may never reach that state of ease of aerobic conditioning and might possibly blame it on our "new" diet or even our spouse, mother-in-law or employer.

Poor breathing is a lot like dragging a ball and chain around that we can never release. The key is to learn whether we have a breathing ease, efficiency, strength or coordination problem and handle some or all of it, quickly and easily. This will help ensure the success of our health/stress management program and raise our energy beyond what we thought possible.

Exercising promises to increase energy. Many of us know that it often breaks its promise. The key with exercise is to create an energy/oxygen reserve. The trick with optimal aerobic breathing is getting in as much energy as you can by expending as little energy as possible to get it.

Running may create an excess of energy buildup, but it costs a lot of energy to run. Swimming may work better at building reserve when the water supports the body, but many cannot deal with the inconvenience and/or relax and breathe deeply enough while in the water. With proper posture and footwear, many walks will build up aerobic reserve, but time constraints, bad weather and/or body limitation, aches and pains can defeat even the most ardent wanna-be walker.

Lying down while doing my #130 Better Breathing Exercise #2 has been known to bring on pulsating and streaming feelings of joy and oceanic waves of bliss, and a LOT of extra energy. It has leveled out negative emotions, calmed and soothed overwhelming feelings, contained thoughts running amuck, and it energizes in an even, gentle way, slowly increasing what some might call raising your energy toleration or thermostat.

The self-healing properties or aerobic breathing have a great deal to do with extra oxygen but as well strengthen the body's resistance to distressful stress. There have been *spontaneous remissions of many illnesses. Most people don't think of the breath as being in any way connected with *sudden unexplainable cessations of life threatening illness. This is NOT a magic bullet "illness-specific" way of healing, but when the body receives a giant dose of oxygen, nervous system balance and ease of functioning, incredible "healings" and increases of spiritual and personal power can and do happen almost routinely. #130 Better Breathing Exercise #2 is a pretty dependable source of second wind as well.

Because many people have health issues or just want easily obtainable energy that stays with them, I often suggest a more complete program to ensure success.

Extremely high levels of energy can be attained without biking, walking, jogging or swimming. These could not be easier and gentler and more effective. Click here for my special #740 Aerobic Breathing program.
