"Organic" Exercise

Many people understand that in order for their body to work as best as it can, they should not be eating a diet based around Doritos and cupcakes.  However, when it comes to the forces they decide to apply to their structure through exercise, it seems as if most are stuck on a metaphorical dessert-heavy diet.While what they are currently doing may seem more fun or entertaining than its "organic" counterpart, understand that if you only eat the foods that are high in sugar or highly processed, eventually you are probably not going to feel too well.  Likewise, only doing the high-intensity, made-for-tv-esque exercise may be appropriate for your body from time to time, but if that's all you are doing, eventually you are probably not going to feel too well.

Like the stomach ache that comes from eating too much pizza telling you to eat something different if you are going to eat that much (and remember you can't have ice cream unless you finish all of your pizza), the little muscle twinges and soreness that leads to the little joint aches and pains is your body saying, "Hey, if you want to keep exercising that's cool, but you have to give me something different."

One way to be able to keep doing your Krispy Kreme exercises--the ones that may make you feel pretty good in the immediate and short term but if that's all you are doing you may start to feel pretty crappy--is to balance it out with some "organic" exercise, something like Muscle Activation Techniques™, something that is designed to kind of give your body what it may be needing at that moment and may allow you to continue to participate in everything else you want to do for longer with fewer negative consequences.

I like cheesecake.  Now, I haven't had cheesecake in years, but if that was all I ate every day, and, more importantly, if that cheesecake was not giving my body what it needed to work optimally, I would have to start eating something else to make sure I could keep eating my cheesecake for years to come.  And, just like eating a garden-fresh salad with grass-fed/grass-finished sirloin doesn't have to taste terrible, participating in "organic" exercise doesn't have to be boring.  In fact, with the proper guidance and consultation, it can be really fun and allow you to feel sensations you haven't ever felt before while exercising.

Are you making sure to consume some "organic" exercise so you can keep consuming your Krispy Kreme workouts?
