Exercise and body workouts are pull systems. The level of activity that I am referring to here is not that of your daily routine work or regular body movements, but rather, focused repetitive exercises that go on continuously for anywhere over 15 minutes. These types of exercises force the organs, muscles and bones of the body to work hard first, thereby taking them into a cycle of stress. After they get fatigued, they first draw nourishment from the stored energy in the body. Later, these stored reserves are replenished by regular food supply. This cycle of stress and fatigue forces the organs, muscles and bones to draw more blood and nutrients to themselves in an effort to recoup. Such cycles when repeated often, make them grow stronger. The pulling of energy and nutrition into the body caused by forcing the expenditure of energy is what I refer to as a pull system.

In this system, the drawback is that if you exercise the organ, muscle or bone beyond its capable limit, there is a high probability that it may break down causing several problems. There are numerous instances of people getting heart attacks or brain strokes or aches and pains or spells of sickness after strenuous exercise. This why every person must be advised an exercise program in tune with their current body capability. It is also a well known fact that too much of exercise, well beyond healthy limits not only age the muscles but also wear out bone joints. Professional athletes are very good examples of body wear out since many of them are forced to retire by the age of 35 years as their bodies get worn out.

If you analyze the habits of people who have lived to be over 100 yrs of age, you will see that they have not followed strenuous exercise programs during their lives. They would have instead been involved in regular work that gave muscle suppleness and kept body fluids in good circulation. Acupressure, Acupuncture, Breathing Techniques, Yoga, Sun Yoga and Energy Work are push systems. Their practice literally pushes bioenergy into the body, which not only rejuvenates it, but also clears energy blocks within the energetic pathways, while facilitating the elimination of toxins as well. That is why I call them push systems. Their actions neither create a cycle of stress nor a cycle of fatigue. Since no stress is generated, no possibility of any part of the body failing exists. So between the two, push systems are clearly safer.

I am certainly not against exercise. I think it is an amazing way to keep yourself fit, so long as you do not overdo it. If you are involved with work that has your body moving and stretching all day long, then that kind of workout is good enough to keep you healthy. But if your daily work is of a sedentary type, then a daily ½ hour all round light body exercise will certainly do you a lot of good. More than 1 hour of daily vigorous exercise will contribute to the slow degradation of your muscles and bones. Of course, different body types need different amounts of exercise. The Kapha body requires the most, followed by the Vata body and finally the Pitta body requires the least. Body builders can do what they like. There may be no limit to the amount of exercise they do, which is according to the results they seek.

What I am trying to impress very clearly here is that exercise is definitely not the first option that you should use to remedy conditions like weight gain. If investigation reveals that your weight gain is due to eating the wrong foods, then that is the aspect that you should be correcting first. Exercise can definitely be a secondary support to burning fat in such a scenario. Weight gain can happen for several reasons. The problem is that modern doctors do not really care about why a person gains weight, simply because they have not been trained to do such diagnosis. That is why they focus on all the tricks that force the body to shed the weight gained. Some of those remedies have side effects that cause other imbalances in the body, whereas other remedies need to be administered time and again. This fact also shows that they are not the right cures. I have addressed the issue of fat build-up and obesity later in this book and also explained the 8 different reasons for weight gain and how to handle them.

Daily exercise does give the following benefits:

1) It gives you more flexibility and mobility, which increases your stamina to perform physical tasks at better levels of performance over a longer time.

3) It pumps blood through all the arteries and veins at a faster pace, thereby facilitating the dislodging of accumulated debris.

4) It releases stress-releasing hormones into the body, which benefit the body.

5) It causes daily fatigue that induces deeper sleep, which facilitates a cycle of regeneration. 6) It brings about the balance of the automatic nervous system.

7) Sweating during exercise helps the body eliminate waste matter from the skin.

If you eat a healthy diet and stop your consumption of all processed forms of sugar as well as reduce your grain consumption, your body will lose its dietary fat within a period of 6 months. Your body will become lean and muscular just from routine everyday light exercise that comes from being physically active. Have you taken a good look at tribals? Their bodies get lean and mean just from going about their daily work. They never exercise. Exercise is just a modern fad that has become a necessity for those who do not know the right ways of maintaining their weight.

Modest light forms of exercise like walking to short destinations, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking your dog or playing outdoors with your children and giving some of your machines a bit of rest by doing some work manually all contribute towards fitness. Even sweeping and mopping your own house daily is an excellent exercise. I highly recommend it since it works almost all muscle groups and bone joints. What’s more is that it gives the ego the right kind of workout as well. Suryanamaskar is a very good exercise that builds body flexibility and strength. It is also very effective in preventing and reversing Sarcopenia, which is aging related muscle loss. Go to http://www.becomehealthyorextinct.com/suryanamaskar to learn Suryanamaskar.
