What does a Body'Fit pHx warmup contribute to injury prevention?

Your interest is commendable... 6 out of 10 people who start exercising sustain a sports injury within six weeks. Most sports injuries are the result of inadequate training, structural defects, or weaknesses in the body. If you have a professional trainer they've most likely briefed you on the basics.

Inadequate training is most often due to time/ energy constraints or lack of expertise. Structural defects require accurate assessment by a physio, chiro, or sports trainer to determine the best treatment for restoring anatomical musculo skeletal balance. Body rolling, bone and intensive deep tissue bodywork helps release joints and tendons and speed injury recovery. In addition, core stability training must be accompanied by muscle balance.  And finally weaknesses in the body are best viewed as opportunities with appropriate protocol. To explain how Body'Fit pHx™ has scientifically perfected movement technology that gives unique injury protection it's necessary to show how it provides a new kinaesthetic, chemical and physiological balance in the body.

The 7-14 minute Body'Fit pH Fitness™ exercise routine is a total body aerobic cardio warm-up cool down workout that dynamically stretches and balances V02max in both large and small muscles with revolutionary pHx DynaStretch techniques. There are two distinct groups of muscles that make two types of body movements. The large muscles, the muscles of strength, reach for things, the little muscles repel things. A balanced combination of these two muscle groups gives flexibility and elasticity. The dictionary defines elasticity as the ability of a muscle to stretch and  quickly recover its shape and size. If one group of muscles dominates another, the body is weak and inelastic. Elasticity is the midpoint between a body that is musclebound, and one that has atrophied due to insufficient exercise. 

The Transverse Abdominal (TVA) is a very important stabilizer of the low-back. It is the deepest of the abdominal muscles and the only one that runs horizontal. It activates prior to the muscles of the hips and thorax. When contracted it flattens the abdominal wall and compresses the viscera. The TVA is required for all integrated movements. If the TVA is weak it will allow bulging of the anterior abdominal wall increasing lordosis in the low-back and will also create a lateral bulge in (forward bending) or extension (back bending).  The Body'Fit pH Fitness series engages the TVA isometrically n with specific foot position and body posture, while exercising the body in a way that balances oxygen levels in all the organs, glands and tissues under conditions of homeostatic balance.

 And since it's easy to do pHx even on days you can't manage anything else, Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise gives much needed support for the release and re-alignment of the skeletal system. It includes all the movements necessary for a complete kinaesthetic expression of our body with the most economy of movement. It's also designed to increase kinaesthetic sensibility of the relation of all our bones and muscles so that we are aware of the movement itself, rather than simply the outcome of the movement. This is essential, and often overlooked simply because a fast effective method has been largely unavailable till now.

Usually regardless of how diligently an athlete may warm-up and cool-down, a muscle pull can happen due to overuse, fatigue, or taking a fall. Body'Fit pHx provides a most useful adjunct to athletic training as a fast means to balance all muscles in a just few minutes before and after training, as well as storing up reserves of oxygen and electrolytes for faster recovery and conditioning. It's stress-free 100% aerobic cardio speeds up recovery from exhaustion and fatigue so common to overreaching. The faster and harder you work the body with Body'Fit pHx, the faster it gives all tissues, both deep and more superficial, the physiological resources to reach homeostatic Peak Metabolic Potential PMP™ very fast.

Performance of even the short 7-minute version of Body'Fit pHx wakes up the entire nervous system honing the kinesthetic awareness, mental alertness, and physical coordination to take a fall without injury. And last but not least, balancing body pH at Peak Metabolic Potential prior to and immediately after physical training and sports competition is a key difference between athletes that make it to the finish with power to spare, and those plagued by injury and the plight of overtraining syndrome due to sympathetic or parasympathetic dominance.

Whether done as a warm-up, cool down or workout it increases flexibility and elasticity by balancing VO2max in all the muscles of the body. Returning body pH chemistry to normal alkalinity immediately pre and post sports workouts while heightening electrolyte distribution gives revolutionary resilience to overtraining, muscle spasms, and joint injury while improving conditioning sustainability, recovery time, and sports performance, view...

"Uniquely, as the most complete expression of the human organism with the most economical pattern of movement and breathing, pHx has the capacity to train mental awareness as well as physical strength giving injury prevention an extra edge." Suzanna Aaring

How to raise the bar on sports warm-ups with the new body balance:

»Warm up properly before any physical activity
»Raise pH to normal fast pre and post exercise
»Balance all muscles in a single session once a day
»Cool down properly after exercise and sports
»Stretch muscles
»Support the feet
»Practice good back injury prevention

Warm up properly before any physical activity... article. The muscles and joints need to be warm prior to static stretching which has been shown to weaken the muscles, or getting on the treadmill or doing some resistance intervals, which opens up circulation in the muscles while shutting down circulation in the deep tissues.

Until the emergence of Body'Fit pH Fitness exercise it wasn't understood why small muscles, so critical to sports dexterity, generally can't achieve V02max even when heart rate is at maximum levels during training. To warm up both large and small muscles in equal balance, it's necessary to get oxygen into the heart, brain, and deep organs in the proper sequence and with the most economical movement, otherwise tissues throughout the body start to compete with each other for the blood  supply - and that means the small muscles in the wrists don't achieve V02max.

The reason the heart muscle also needs to be warmed up prior to beginning your treadmill or running warm-up is because the heart itself usually doesn't get much of a circulatory increase when it starts pumping more blood (only a .125 percent increase relative to skeletal muscle at training levels). Body'Fit pHx is designed to significantly improve on this ratio (and heart health) in as little as 5 minutes by opening up deep systemic arteries that usually get shut down during exercise (and most aerobic warm-ups). Remember just because the core temperature rises during a warm-up as circulation speeds up, doesn't mean that the blood vessels deep in the body have expanded - it means that heat normally dissipated throughout all the tissues is now building up because deep body circulation has shut down as most blood (up to 90%) has shifted to the muscles.

Raise pH to normal fast pre and post exercise or sports... article.  Let to its own resources the body will restore pH balance, however it can take hours or even days, instead of minutes. Any kind of stress, physical, emotional, or mental can lower metabolic pH. As core temperatures become overheated combined with under-oxygenation of deep tissues, body pH drops even further.  Restoring a healthy alkaline body pH in all tissues fast with pHx is the optimal way to start and finish a workout -  it prepares the body for exertion stress by starting with a clean slate with all systems fully primed for Peak Metabolic Potential. It also means cardio vascular balance gives both small and large muscles the resources for fast adaptation with endurance training at V02max, and speeds up sports recovery.

Balance all muscles in a single 5-minute session at least once a day.. article. Demands of training preclude exercising different muscle groups on alternate days, or just doing sports specific dynamic stretching. Injury prevention requires that all muscles be fully balanced and ready to perform every time you play or workout. To excite and balance all the muscle groups in a single session perform Body'Fit pHx as a warm-up cool down. It takes less time than usual, and there's no recovery time required so you can do the pHx routine every day. Professionals recommend it for fast sports training recovery even on days they are resting from their regular workout.

Cool down properly after exercise or sports... article. Prevent pooling of blood in the lower limbs with total body circulatory balance. Body'Fit re-distributes circulation throughout all tissues for an immediate return to the homeostatic balance in all body systems and fast training recovery.

Stretching exercises can improve the muscles' ability to contract and perform, reducing the risk for injury... article shows there are current gaps in development of stretching exercises since a study with golfers did not prove that stretching reduces the risk of injury. This is where you can get more out of your stretch time with the innovative Body'Fit pH dynamic stretching. By balancing all muscle groups and opening up systemic vessels, the body is warmed from the inside out (starting with organ circulation rather than muscle circulation) for safer more effective stretching that actually does improve the muscles ability to perform while preventing injury. In addition, because each muscle group is exercised in proportion to size balancing the small and large muscles even greater flexibility is achieved than is possible with simple dynamic stretching.

Shoe support may correct certain foot problems that can lead to injury... article. Skin splints, ankle sprain, arch pain, and Achilles Tendonitis are among the most common of sports injuries which relate to improper conditioning of the feet. Beat the odds with Body'Fit V02max circulatory balance in the small muscles of the ankle and feet to show great improvements in the strength, agility and endurance of joints and bones. Don't ignore excitation of Peak Metabolic Potential in all tissues of the body for improving dynamic stretching and balance in the muscles of the feet, the entire musculature is inter-related.

Back injury may be prevented with the following:
pelvic tilt (decrease excessive lower back curvature)
abdominal strength (help stabilize the back)
lower back stretches (for reduced tightness)

Body'Fit pH Fitness consists of 24 exercises which are done in a specific sequence without stopping for 5 to 15 minutes. State-of-the-art exercise engineering moves and massages each spinal vertebrae in the proper sequence that helps prevent sympathetic and/or parasympathetic nervous system dominance typical of overtraining. This element alone makes Body'Fit pH Fitness uniquely effective as a spinal injury prevention and sports injury recovery tool, however it's sophistication goes further by supporting neural balance with simultaneous upper and lower limb coordination.

 Techniques to maintain a pelvic tilt are incorporated while building core strength necessary for back injury prevention. One of the first benefits participants observe is fast back pain relief from increase in muscle strength in the abdominal area. They also attest to the effectiveness of the lower back stretches which balances core musculature... try it.
