You know the saying "practice makes perfect" but that's not really accurate. If you are practicing bad form for example, then you will never get good form or good results as a result regardless of how much you practice...it will never be "perfect". The saying really should be Perfect Practice makes Perfect. You will only ever get out what you put in, so don't repeat bad behavior, bad mental dialogue, bad form, sloppy workouts, bad eating habits and expect to get anything out of it but bad results. A good example of bad form would be the squat (Importance of a Proper Squat) or the push up....Folks will rush through those moves workout after workout and wonder why they don't get the results for their efforts....simple answer is you are not working the correct muscles and most likely just stressing your joints. Same with mindless eating....If you nibble, bite, sample your way through the day not thinking those little tastes here and there amount to anything, you are sadly mistaken. Results = the Effort you put into it. Perfect Practice = Perfect Results!
In the same line of thinking of perfect practice makes perfect..... More is not always Better but rather Better is Better! More of a bad thing is still a bad thing. If you are always trying to do your best, then you will get better. If you are always practicing good, mindful, intense form in your workouts, for example, you will get better and achieve great results! See a theme here?
Law of Facilitation The body subscribes to the law of facilitation, meaning that the body will achieve the desired movement following the path of least resistance. If your body has any mobility-stability compromises, you will end up with dysfunctional movement causing inevitable breakdowns at your weakest link. This is corrected by focusing on moving correctly as opposed to just moving. A great example is the squat and the push up. If you just move through either of these movements regardless of incorrect movement just to say you got the move done, you are actually causing layers of damage to muscular and joint function which will impede your progress to moving correctly in those and other movements. An excellent way to get in touch, stay in touch, as well as improve your mobility-stability issues is to STRETCH. Yoga is an excellent way to accomplish this. When you are stretching, regardless of what modality you use, pay attention to what is tight and what is overcompensating for your “weak links” and communicate those findings to me during our sessions. We can work together to improve your movements so your body doesn’t have to “compromise” to move.
Not working with me? If you find that you are moving incorrectly resulting in any pain, be sure to seek the assistance of a professional to aide you in your movement to correct any misalignment and incorrect form. I am always an e-mail away to answer questions at cagib1@charter.net.
