027. Nature Wants You to Perform Natural Activities
Let the Nature guide you what to do and how to do it.
In this paragraph we will list all basic natural movements. Also, we will learn about the most important complex activities, which every human being must practice for improvement of power and other physical qualities.
026. Nature Wants You to Train Naturally
There is nothing truly new under the sun, so let’s get back to Nature. Lift weights and move your body the way it feels natural.
We are living in the age of so called “progress”. We are bombarded with “innovations” and “improvements” in all areas of life. Take a look at the number of scientific researches conducted in the physical training domain. It is huge and new ones are emerging every day all around the globe. Their purpose is to decode principles of Nature and results may be valuable, but unfortunately, way too many of them are sponsored by companies with direct interest in getting specific results. We can witness new stuff popping up all over the Internet, new training methods, new fitness machines, new diets, new supplements, etc. Majority of these “discoveries” are just aggressively advertised useless junk, with only one goal in mind - to take your money away! If you are not born yesterday, you are probably aware of all these frauds.
025. Nature Wants You to be Patient and Persistent
Take your time and never give up.
How many times you have heard about some miracle method or a supplement that will make you big and strong in shortest imaginable time? We are constantly bombarded with this kind of lame marketing, but in reality, there are no shortcuts to strength, speed and power. You can always resort to steroids, but they are unhealthy and dangerous. So, it is clear that you will have to invest time, effort and energy to become strong, fast and powerful. Be patient, be persistent and results will come.
024. Nature Wants You to Use Your Brain and Think
Always think for yourself about everything.
This paragraph continues on the last instruction for avoiding injuries from the last paragraph. While it is a simple encouragement for using protective accessories in training, it is also a call for rational thinking about everything.
023. Nature Wants You to Avoid Injuries
The most important thing for every athlete is to stay injury free throughout the whole training career.
The importance of health and injury free body is clear and well known. Without a broader elaboration of this theme, let’s list several basic instructions for avoiding injuries:
022. Nature Wants You to Breathe Naturally
Experiment with different breathing methods and choose what feels natural to you personally in each particular situation.
Breathing is a must during any physical activity, so the general rule is to avoid constricting or stopping your breathing during any physical activity. It is very important to breathe the way it feels natural to you personally. In other words, let the Nature guide you how to breathe in each and every situation. Be open to try different styles of breathing, but never force yourself to accept anything uncomfortable. Here are a few breathing methods you can experiment with.
021. Nature Wants Your Teeth to be Healthy
Eat only a high quality natural food and your teeth will be healthy.
Modern medicine tells you to wash your teeth several times a day, preferably with a tooth paste that contains fluoride. Supposedly, fluoride will prevent dental caries and tooth decay and the more you wash your teeth, the healthier they should be. But modern medicine also says that fluoride is neurotoxic, nephrotoxic and generally unhealthy, even in smallest doses. It was proven that fluoride is bad for bones and particularly for teeth. That is why fluoridation of drinking water has been banned long ago in many parts of the World. Now you may wonder, isn’t this contradictory? Well, yes it is. Think about this and draw conclusions yourself.
020. Nature Wants You to be Lean
Eliminate all junk food from your diet. Reduce amount of carbohydrate intake. Start regular practice of intense aerobic activities. Be persistent and results will come.
Excessive body fat is not healthy and certainly not natural. After all, it doesn’t look nice either. Too much junk food and lazy lifestyle are the main causes why many of us are overweight. While it may be easy to conclude what are the causes, elimination of junk food from the diet and regular physical activity may be a hard task for some of us. Establishing this as a lifelong habit may be even harder, but it will pay off for sure. Just don’t choose the “easy solutions” offered by modern chemistry, rather stay natty and stay healthy. So, regardless if you train for power, strength, speed or any other goal, the war against body fat will occur on two fronts: diet and physical activity. Each of these two fronts will consist of two smaller battles. Here they are:
- Elimination of all junk food.
- Reduction of food high in carbohydrates.
- Regular training for power, strength and speed.
- Incorporation of aerobic conditioning.
019. Nature Wants You to be Muscular
Train for power and you will be muscular for sure.
The main goal of Natty Power training program is development of a powerful body with the most natural apprtoach possible. Becoming powerful also brings many other physical improvements, like becoming stronger, faster, energized, etc. It will bring health improvements as well, like being more resistant to injuries, sleeping better, etc. Finally, there are positive side effects of Natty Power training method, which are purely aesthetical.
018. Nature Wants You to Have a Good Posture
If you walk, squat and lift heavy objects, your posture will be perfect.
Having a good posture and standing straight is natural, healthy and beautiful. Good posture projects power and dominance. Good posture is sexually attractive. Unfortunately, modern humans quite often suffer from numerous muscle weakness which can result in poor body posture and eventually, in permanent skeletal deformities. Strengthening weak muscles to prevent deformities is possible and probable, especially in adolescents and young adults. There are 3 common conditions that have direct influence on posture:
- Pes Planus: aka flat feet, caused by weak foot and calf muscles.
- Genu Valgum: aka knock knees, caused by weak leg and hip muscles.
- Thoracic Kyphosis: aka slouching, caused by weak back muscles.
