Q. Cycling is my sport. I do try to do cross-training to prevent bone loss and injury from repeated movements. How can BodyFit help me?
You certainly have asked a good question; the 100,000 word question we're answering on BodyFItLife.com. In brief, to get more out of exercise it's necessary to perform a systematic warm-up cool down routine that:
1) balances muscle acidification with body pH recovery in minutes, instead of hours or days as is usually the case. Changes in pH can be detected as soon as respiration quickens during physical activity. When body pH (not in alimentary tract) of blood and cellular fluid becomes acidic (due to lactic acid, diet, stress, etc.) the body pulls minerals from anywhere it can (including bone) to restore the healthy alkaline pH needed for recovery.
2) balances the movements repeated during cycling with a dynamic stretch that equalizes V02max throughout the entire body musculature immediately before and after any workout. Injury prevention can't wait for cross training.
3) balances the muscle circulatory increase during sports with a corresponding increase in deep organ circulation. Total body recovery and rejuvenation depends on how much oxygen we can get into deep organs, including the brain and nervous system, not just muscle. The 24-exercise Body'Fit pHx™ routine balances all three - blood pH, muscle V02max, and muscle/ organ circulation, and fast, within 5 to 15 minutes.
I hope this helps... and there's lots more detail in the customer support section.

Q. You talk a lot about pH. I have a friend who claims that drinking alkalinized water will help with pH balance and help with recovery. Is this true? My understanding is that drinking alkaline water only affects the urne pH.
A. Your friend is right, consuming alkaline food or drink will help
balance body pH and help with recovery, but only if the alkalizing
minerals are distributed to all the tissues of the body. Otherwise body
pH remains acidic for a much longer time than necessary after a workout, and may result in headaches, depression, etc.
Q. When you state, "but only if the alkalizing minerals are distributed
to all the tissues of the body." What does this mean? What would
prevent the distributions? Are you implying that the movements in
BodyFit will help distribute the minerals because it encourages deep
organ and tissue circulation?
A. That's correct... usually the only time circulation in both skeletal
muscle and deep tissue is more or less evenly distributed is during
rest, when metabolic rate is at it's slowest. As soon as we move, the
muscles start to pull blood out of the body; this is the physiological
default of adrenaline released during movement - unless it's specialized movement designed deliberately to re-balance circulation in all tissues.
Body'Fit pHx™ follows the precise physiological laws for compression of Peak Metabolic Potential
throughout all the cells of the body, without stress - a goal which
dictates the most economical movement of the entire musculature in a
very specific pattern and sequence.

is here to help explain the physiological depth that such an exact body fit demands. We're not looking to innovate a way for the body to meet the demands of a warm-up routine, we're looking to innovate a way for a warm-up to meet the demands of the body. Which is why Body'Fit pHx can be performed as a stand-alone routine when winding down training to supercharge the body prior to competition, and of course on days you can't get to the gym, to sustain conditioning. One of the reasons why supercharging works is because the body has time to rebalance it's chemical pH. By adding pHx it just happens faster and at a higher metatolic rate.
