mind and body

[enoch]

well Im doing a computer taught class right now on health, anyway Im in pretty good shape but I have always thaught myself to be less athletic than some of the people at my school (its a sports oriented school) but ton this program I read about how, your mind has more power over your body than anything, for example, the freedom feeling you get from running actually makes you faster!

any opinions on this?

[Xefi]

i think you have to trained your mind in order for it to have more power over the body. Like if you are a SUPER lazy person, your mind is most likely very inactive and your body will probably do its laziness of nothing.

[enoch]

well yea, that is true in alot of cases. adreniline helps i guess. but for those who play sports often must noticed that when you are motivated, you can do so much more than usuall, I just really wonder how to explain it scientifically, but you you see, I am a waiter, not a Physiologist http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif


i could tell you how to serve mexican food to ungrateful customers but...

[Xefi]

i am not a physiochiastrist (however you spell it. -_-) either, but i watch this show on the Discovery Channel called "The Human Body," so i sorta got a little glimsp of what is going on.
And yes, adrenoline (man, my spelling is getting worst or what?) have to do something with the pushing-yourself-to-the-limit part. But then, after you push your body so hard, on the next day, your body will pay the price and be sore as heck. LOL

[enoch]

yea i know that one lol

never do 180 degree sit ups on your first day of working out for a while.... i couldnt even get out of bed the next day lol i think i may have coughed up an organ or 2......

i will take your advice for that. It's annoying when your body becomes numb enough that you can't hardly move. LOL.

Even though i say that, i continue to exercise even though i am already feeling sore and ended up been sore even more. I like pushing the limit to my body; it's fun and healthy for me. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[enoch]

yeah but is it really healthy? im afraid i will die from it someday

I do recall a case of one guy who used to run like 20 miles (maybe, can't really remember the exact amount he would run) everyday. One day as he was getting back from his jog, *plop* he falls dead on his porch. He had pushed his body to the point where it shut itself down.

The human body can withstand a lot of stress, the body overall is like a car engine, if you don’t use is as much the life span may be a long time but not long enough… Over do it and don’t maintain it properly it breaks down and dies. If your over all just active yeah your have you break down here and there but you will live longer lol…

The human body is pretty resilient.*typo?* but its in invincible.

Rest is an important part of working out, it's when the body is healing from stress of the workout that the muscles are built, not during the actual work, if you don't take some recovery time, it won't help any.

from my experience when i was still in the military, the Army never lets anyone rest even if your sore as heck. LOL.
We workout only 1 hr. 30 min. daily from Monday to Friday. Tuesday and Thursday are for muscle failure (what they call when you do push-up and sit-up). As for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we run our little whatever strength we have left and sore our legs. I have continue doing this for the last 3 years when i was in my airborne unit. I dont even remember how many time my body has push beyond its limit. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
But yeah, we do have 2 days to rest and that is the weekend. -_-;

When you get sore it's your muscle tearing, which isn't as bad as it sounds http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif . The reason why people drink protein drinks after they work out is so they have a lot of protein to rebuild the torn muscle, hence they get bigger. Don't worry if you get sore, it's natural a process. If you do, just stretch out a few times a day, keep active, until the soreness is gone. And always, before you work out stretch, that includes running. What I usually do is, jog for half a mile, stretch for about 10 minutes, then start working out seriously.

I run 2 miles everyday in the morning, so I hope that I won't collapse from it anytime soon. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_hamster.gif

[AlexCraig]

I walk 3 miles everyday to get to work. I type endlessly on a computer from then until I go home.

If you continue doing that, you might have a heart attack one day. heh heh heh. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_hamster.gif

P.S.: you will be fine Sion. I was just being silly.

I think it's both. You need to stay in shape and stuff to be strong, but I think having a purpose in life or motivation helps tremendously.

True dat, I haven't worked out since I got out of high school. I'm not in horrible shape, but I could stand to work out a bit. I recently made a resolve for myself so that's really helping.

[enoch]

wow its nice that everybody gets exercise, it kinda puts the rest of america to shame, but can you blame them? with all the luxuries around its hard for alot of people not to abuse them. its important to stay healthy

I have a small gym in my house.
