Do I need to move correctly ... or not?
When your back hurts, and your body isn't doing what you want, exercise is often touted as the ultimate remedy.
But is it always the right choice? A clear no!
Get fitter or focus on recovery?
Before diving into an ambitious fitness program, ask yourself a simple question: What is your goal?
Do you want to increase your arm circumference, sculpt a six-pack, or run the next marathon in under three hours? ... If yes, then you need the aforementioned fitness program (and probably more). Go for it!
Do you want to move pain-free in everyday life and give your body a chance to repair itself? If yes, then an ambitious fitness program is often counterproductive. A smart movement program is much wiser.
Movement is not the same as exercise.
While exercise always involves movement, not all movement is exercise. Your body responds to 5–10 minutes of light, coordinated movement with regeneration in the areas being worked. A 10-minute intense HIIT workout boosts your metabolism but is the opposite of regeneration.
Regenerative movement
Truly healing movement, or better yet, regeneration-stimulating movement, has three clear characteristics:
1. The exercises don’t hurt. - Pain is a good sign that the movement is causing more harm than good.
2. The exercises are tailored to your current health condition. - Every health issue requires a specific program to support regeneration.
3. You feel better after completing your program: more mobile, pain-free, energized, ... simply better. - Trust your body as a feedback system.
Reflect on yourself.
What do you want? Get fitter or recover?
I hope these small insights help you move smarter.
