The Body's Constitution

The constitution is a set of laws and principles that all U.S. citizens must obey. The Body’s Constitution is a set of laws and principles that all human bodies must obey. This mainly concerns the laws of gravity and its effects on the body. The principles behind this book are:

1. gravity is devastating to the body;       

2. gravity will manifest itself in the form of bad posture, aching joints, and sore                                muscles;

3. these problems will worsen if not corrected.                                                                 

This book describes how to reverse the negative effects of gravity and use gravity to your advantage. Not only will this book make you look and feel younger, but it will also give you freedom of movement that even your youth never dreamed of. From couch potato to competitive athlete is who I have in mind for this book. I describe techniques performed in the comfort of your TV-viewing comfy chair to those that take considerable physical and mental preparation.

The most obvious effect of gravity on the body takes the form of bad posture. Those ever-increasing curves and twists in the spine are a slow drain on the body’s energies making you tired, uncomfortable, and possibly injured. Muscles become either too short or too long, allowing your posture to curve. This incorrect posture becomes locked in position by spastic muscles that are short and stiff. The trick is to bring these muscles back to their proper lengths and balance. There are several ways to lengthen or relax muscles, such as stretching and deep-pressure massage. There are ways to shorten muscles, such as actively contracting them and massage. I’m going you show a blend of techniques to achieve a natural balance.

Being a surfer and a roofer, I know what it is like to have an aching back and neck. I had one every day. This forced me to use my knowledge of kinesiology (study of human movement), yoga, martial arts, and massage to devise the most practical way to solve this dilemma.

So, how do you know which muscles need to be shorter and which need to be longer? Without going into kinesiology and biomechanics too deeply, this is how.

Start with the muscles that need to be lengthened because they are the easiest to locate. These muscles feel tense, sore, and almost lumpy. They are usually found on the inside curves of your back, neck, and around your shoulder blades. If you don’t know where these tense muscles are, you will once you start my program.

This book combines my own exercise techniques with those established in the science and fitness world. But I give them a completely unique twist.

I start the exercises program with the couch potato. It is easy to perform and takes little time. It’s a quickie with big results. I caution you to please read the entire book, especially the topic of contraindications at the end.

I strongly recommend the second section, “Yoga-Me-Lee.”
