HEART AND HANDS – Chapter 2 SST

PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT
This conditioning is the most important thing to do from the outset of any exercise program. Once you get the heart working efficiently, a noticeable feeling will come into your life. You will see the everyday things which made you winded are no longer difficult, the stairs no longer daunting, lifting boxes or playing with the kids in the yard, easier. Your complexion will be rosier, your well-being in general will improve; and especially notice this, you will recruit others to join in this program, you will want to share the good feelings and positive benefits with someone else, not only as a companion, but because you care about them. You will lead others to health by walking.

Chapter One – The Core

In every sport, any exercise discipline, every form of learning, there is a core of knowledge that must be known before you can move on to the next level.

Our “spokes” are the arms, legs and head attached to the torso. Our appendages are extensions of the powers we emanate from the heart, mind and body centers. It’s the spaces in between – the range of motion, movement, reach, stride, strength and grasp – that allow us to use our abilities to their highest benefit.

The “hub” is your core, your center of being. The important organs reside here. It is where you began and where you live or die. The heart, the stomach and the back are primary targets for injury and disease. Strength, stability, flexibility and explosiveness emanate from here. All forms of training have their basis and foundation in this core. When the core is strong, every other direction taken is strengthened proportionately. If one were to train just the outer spokes, the lopsided focus not only makes the center weaker, but each other subsequent direction more prone to accident or injury.

IT BEGINS AND ENDS WITH “YOU”

Simple Structured Training starts with the equipment necessary for every sport and activity that you currently have and always will have – your body. People complain that they can’t get to a gym, don’t have the equipment, or can’t work out alone because they need a spotter or partner to assist them, motivate them, support them.
