Self-Limiting Movement – Exercises That Are Too Hard To Do Wrong


http://thethrillsociety.com is your link to Thrilling Stuff! This article is just a taste!

The form and posture of your body play a pivotal role in minimizing the risk of an injury and enforcing proper body mechanisms. The self-limiting movement exercises are fast becoming the buzzwords in the world of fitness. The concept of limiting your body movements is fairly new and is yet to be embraced by everyone, but the fact that proper functional movement of your body can ensure the right posture and prevent injuries, makes it an imperative.

What is self-limiting exercise?

Exercises require movement and if you are not able to move correctly, then you are not getting the most out of the exercise you are performing. Self-limiting aims at combatting the negative effects of poor movement patterns.
In order to achieve good form, if you use the traditional exercises then you have to keep a dozen things in mind to ensure that you are doing it right. If you do not do it correctly then chances are that you would either end up with a sloppy form or you would injure yourself.
Self-limiting exercises on the other hand, are exercises that you could hardly do the wrong way. These are hard to mess up because if you do it incorrectly, you get to know it automatically and the exercise coerces you to focus on what you are doing.

Self-limiting exercises enforce proper body mechanisms naturally. The exercise requires mindfulness so that you are aware of the movement, alignment, balance as well as control. It requires high amounts of energy for you to do these exercises. This is because you do not only need to do it physically, but the absolute level of engagement required in the exercise demands a lot metabolically.

Examples of self-limiting exercises

Any exercise that limits you so that your body goes into auto-correct mode is a self-limiting exercise. Some examples are:
  • Barefoot running: The simplest form of a self-limiting exercise is barefoot running. Without the extremely comfortable trainers you use during your workouts, your feet will react to pain and your body will correct its posture if it feels that something is not being done correctly.
  • Jumping Rope: This is another exercise which is perfect to remind you of your posture. While jumping rope, if you get tired and start slouching, then the rope will hit you bringing you back into the world advising you to either take a break or end your session of jumping rope. Additionally, jumping rope is a great core exercise and you also end up losing extra weight.
  • Running up a steep hill or pushing a heavy sled: When you are pushing something heavy enough, your body starts to react, this is exactly why pushing a heavy sled is considered to be a self-limiting exercise. As you pick momentum, chances are you are boosting your health and posture.
  • Half-kneeling, anti-rotation press: This is another exercise which requires you to be attentive to your body postures.
These are some of the exercises that you can perform if you are taking up the self-limiting exercise. However, the list is longer and the ones I have mentioned are just a few examples of the exercise option available.

My goal is to be practical and efficient when it comes to exercising. While many may find the self-limiting exercises to be too simple for their glamour filled gym routines, but the truth is that these exercises can keep you fit and healthy and help you achieve your health dreams. You may think that running barefoot or jumping rope is ridiculous. But science proves it that this can be one of the most effective self-limiting exercises in the world.

CASHING IT IN ON HOLMBY STREET


http://thethrillsociety.com is your link to Thrilling Stuff! This article is just a taste!

One calm nice night, I went to see a movie. I was innocently sitting there, eating my neighbor’s popcorn, watching the 2005 movie, “I WALK THE LINE” starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon and about the early part of Johnny Cash’s life.

th-8
A little known scene flashed on the big movie screen, and I thought I was going to faint. I know my heart stopped, and my tiny hairs stood up on the back of my neck. I lost all color in my face, and the feeling went out of my limbs. All I could think of was the next shot would be a close up of my childhood house.
Unknown
The scene was about midway through the movie. By that time in life and the film, Johnny Cash was becoming a very big deal and had sold many #1 hit songs. The scene in the movie showed Cash on stage in Vegas. He stumbled a bit, was perspiring big time, and had just begun to sing, “Folsom Prison Blues.” Just beginning the song, he leaned over slightly and in the next second collapsed right on stage. Now that’s what happened in the movie.

th-3
The rest of the true story of this scene went like this:
After Johnny Cash collapsed, the backstage medics rushed on stage and quickly got Cash on a stretcher. The medics made their medical assessment and determined that Cash had passed out on drugs & alcohol and was not in immediate danger. The medics determined that Cash just needed to sleep it off for however long that was going to take. The medics called the Sun Rise Hospital, just off the Strip. Apparently, the decision was made NOT to bring Cash to the hospital, but rather take him to a safe, quiet place where the media or other nasties could not get to him while he slept it off.
At that time, my dad was part owner of a small off-the-strip casino/bar called the Lariat Club that featured live entertainment. Sometimes some of the headliners on the strip would stop by after their shows to relax, chill, whatever. As I remember it, the place was very comfy and quiet.
And I bet you can’t guess what happened to good old Johnny after he collapsed on stage? Well, the medics decided the perfect place to stash Johnny was at the Lariat Club. To make a long story shorter, my dad decided a better place was to bring him and a couple of his right-hand men to my childhood house on Holmby Street.
Dad had just turned our entire two-car garage into a big bar with super cushy couches & loungers, and a big, big roll-out bed. The ambulance pulled up to our house just as I was walking out the front door. Now being a young teenager, I was wondering who in my family had screwed up once again. I remember the medics rolling a stretcher with someone one it into the side door of the used-to-be-garage. I ran over, and my dad sternly said, “Not Now.” That night at dinner, I learned that the guest at our family home was Mr. Johnny Cash and a couple of his friends. Well, of course the next thing on my mind was to get a peek, an autograph, a picture, a long look, whatever.
As it turned out, Johnny Cash and his extra baggage stayed with us on Holmby Street for 4 days and 5 nights. He walked out on his own and got in a nice, but not flashy Pontiac. I did get to say “Hi” to him and catch brief glimpses of him several times during those 4 days. I also got his autograph on a pamphlet that looked something like this.
th
Everything was really hush, hush and to my knowledge no one bothered him or tried to contact him during those days.

When he left our house, my dad said he also left Vegas and went back to Memphis, where he began his long road to recovery with June Carter’s help. As far as I know, the rest of the movie was probably fairly accurate – they just left out that little part about coming to my house to dry out. Maybe they left it out of the movie, because it was only very, very important to my family and me.

After the incident in Vegas and Holmby Street, as we all know, Johnny spent the rest of his life singing, writing, and acting his way to fame and fortune with June Carter. He ended up recording more than 1,500 songs and writing most of them among his many many accomplishments in his life.

“STATIC IN MY HEADFONES”

I apologize in advance for being kind of long-winded.

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. That is the only way to describe the world nowadays. There are major steps forward and major set backs. All with race being at the forefront of most issues. It makes my heart hurt to know that my kids will still have to deal with nonsense because they have more melanin than someone else. It is utterly ridiculous that we as a people cannot get it together. There is no division between race. We are the same. The battle is Good Vs. Evil. When the “race baiting” media reached the masses, I removed myself from the topics (for the most part). I found myself listening to powerful music. I was getting lost in the music. Headphones on, stress lowered. I was searching for the answer to all of our problems in past messages. The answers are there, people just don’t listen nor care to listen. It is up to our generation to create that Utopia. Regardless of whether you sell drugs or if you have a master’s degree. I recently found out my Great Grandfather played in the Negro Leagues. Which validated my inner feeling of belonging to something great. I sometimes get this feeling of having a “greater purpose”. Anyways, he along with countless others, transcended the entire game of baseball. He is one of the reasons I got the chance to even play little league. I can only imagine how many times he was called a “nigger” or something stupid like that. But he must not have given a f*ck because he continued to play for something greater. He must have found solace in other places. The artwork shows him (indicated by arrow) and the team he played for later in his career. Long story short, sometimes we just need to isolate ourselves from the chaos and try to find ways to create a better situation. The immediate responses are fine and good, but this is chess not checkers. Put your headphones on and locate the answers. Locate your purpose. One love.

IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE A SELFIE, USE THESE 6 TIPS!


http://thethrillsociety.com is your link to Thrilling Stuff! This article is just a taste!

So you think you have to take a selfie? Nowadays selflies are all over social media. However, it is appalling how lousy selflies generally are composed. Folks should realize that once a selfie is submitted to a social media site it has the potential to reach millions of people, forever! So why not take an extra 13 seconds and compose at least a decent selfie?
My firm belief is that not everyone should be allowed to post a selfie on a social media site. There should be rigorous examine boards that approve only hot girls to post on social media sites. Similar panels should also approve the right to purchase yoga pants, but that is another story! Now we do live in a free country so if a person wants to send a selfie to a loved one go ahead! If I was only king!
Anyways, the main reason that I am blogging on this topic is that the standard look at the cell phone while snapping a selfie is driving me loco! Ladies in particular spend a lot of time doing there hair and makeup. Why after all this preparation do ladies insist on looking at the phone instead of looking up?
Let’s take a look at this horrible selfie below for an example of what not to do in a selfie!
tts photography tips photo
Middle aged, balding man with a large frontal beer and pizza storage compartment should never, ever snap a selfie! Never ever! Nobody wants to see this!
The next error I make with this selfie is staring at the phone like a deer looking into the headlights of car. For the love of all that is holy look up!
I do not consider my background in the above selfie. The background is busy and highlighted by hideous wall paper that should only be used for wrapping paper! Be aware of your background!
My next mistake is taking the selfie from too far away! There are lots of distracting things surrounding me in this selfie. Bring the phone closer to your body or use the crop feature on your phone to eliminate the distractions!
Don’t take a selfie in the mirror! Mirrors do offer the advantage of the full body capture, but are NO BEUNO! If you require a full body selfie enlist the help of a friend.
And last, but not least! Consider your lighting. Just give it a thought. I am not asking for you to use full studio lighting. Just take 3.5 seconds to consider better lighting if the option is available! In the above selfie the lighting is glaring badly off my bald noggin as well as the wrapping paper style wall covering.
Below is an example of a still sucky selfie, but a vast improvement from the crime on humanity selfie in the above photo.
tts photography tips photo
In the above selfie, I look up instead of into the camera with my brilliant, blue eyes, hide my bald spot with a cap, and slightly tilt my head to showcase my power dimple. I also take the selfie at a closer range which eliminates background distractions and hides my crumb catcher. The lighting still sucks, but it is better than the top photo.
