Fitness vs Health
The term 'pH exercise' usually refers to the necessary acidification that occurs from lactic acid buildup during muscle conditioning. Body'Fit pH Fitness™ exercise (short form... pHx™) provides a system for fast restoration of pH chemical balance or acid base equilibrium that gets More Out of Exercise™. This requires a different technique, in fact an entirely new fiitness paradigm with total body pH health. as its focus.
Since
acidification happens by default whenever skeletal muscle contraction
runs out of oxygen and becomes anaerobic (which is about a couple
minutes after starting endurance or resistance training without a pHx
warm-up), lactic acid breaks down into carbon dioxide and hydrogen (H+)
quickly making the entire body acidic. Metabolites produced by muscle
contraction cause the vascular network in muscle tissue to expand,
even as adrenaline released by the sympathetic nervous system
stimulation causes arteries in the rest of the body to
shut down. This
compensatory mechanism eventually fails during exercise forcing an
athlete to stop from exhaustion and pain, a good thing otherwise acidosis of the heart could provoke a cardio vascular accident.
While adaptation through acidification is the intended purpose of muscle contraction during endurance and resistance training; acceleration of adaptation, recovery and regeneration is the intended purpose of restoring body pH to a normal slightly alkaline level. Body'Fit pHx™ bridges the gap between reaching your training peak, and over-reaching that curve to the point of over-training. Its approach to exercise design, ie. exercise that neutralizes pH acidity, results in a warm-up cool down routine consisting of 24 dynamic stretching exercises performed in a rhythmical sequence that restores oxygen balance in all tissues and V02max in every muscle equally. Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise is the first all-muscle aerobic cardio workout to restore a healthy alkaline pH at Peak Metabolic Potential PMP™ this fast - in as little as 5 to 15 minutes (instead of hours or days).
Fast pH Balance
With interval training, muscle cell mitichondria adapt to burn more lactic acid. The
reason why skeletal muscle can adapt to acidification is because it
pulls most of the blood (oxygen and electrolytes) out of the body (up to
90%). A deliberate method of restoring alkaline body pH balance as fast as possible after such a workout is necessary because lactic acid production eventually exceeds the body's ability to metabolize lactate, slowing recovery of homeostasis. The
pHx warm-up cool down provides a considerable advancement in training
protocol, since even a small change in homeostatic body pH
negatively impacts protein synthesis and cellular electrical activity
throughout the body. Therefore the faster pH levels return to normal after exercise and sports, the better - and speed requires compression of total body oxygenation mechanisms. It's observed that Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise returns homeostatic balance very fast as indicated by heart rate recovery within seconds after performance.
How fast the body can return to a normal healthy alkaline pH after exercise determines how fast adaptation, recovery, and regeneration can take place, and ultimately the time to peak physical condition. Many training benefits result from returning alkaline pH balance fast (if all other physiological parameters are accounted for), including prevention of the sympathetic or parasympathetic dominance symptomatic of overtraining syndrome. It's now possible to optimize exercise health for improved training tolerance. Furthermore mood balance requires a normal alkaline pH, and mental acuity is sharper after the 24-exercise Body'Fit pH Fitness warm-up cool down.
The bottom line is if the second half of the adaptation picture is missing, ie. pH balanced aerobic cardio, exercise recovery after a good workout can take several days. Body'Fit pHx™ is the first total body dynamic stretching program to return pH levels to normal pre and post exercise in as little as 5 minutes utilizing contraction of opposing muscle groups. As an exercise warm-up pHx prepares the body for the stress of acidification by driving circulation deep into the body building up the reserves of oxygen and electrolytes, raising the level at which the compensatory mechanisms fail, and equalizing V02max in both large and small muscles to squeeze the vascular and lymphatic circulation improving electrolyte distribution. And when performed as a cool down Body'Fit pH Fitness improves overall pH health, rescuing systemic tissues from the damage of pH imbalance after sports training, and preventing sports injury and over-training syndrome. That Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise can neutralize lactic acid build up this fast is the missing piece for peak performance... try 3 for free.
