Do you know what's happening to your body?
As the training effort increases, it's helpful to understand what's happening to our bodies. It will also help increase our strength and performance and manage those aches and pains.
The Intu-Flow routine has many useful tips and tricks to get your body flexible and flowing. Go to the Member's Only area to download the Intu-Flow sheet.
Before starting any fitness program you should consult your Doctor or health provider first. If you haven’t done exercise in a while - start out slowly - maybe do 2-5 push-ups or start with the adjusted push-up. Build up your strength slowly. It is more important to do a push-up with the correct technique than to do lots of push-ups which are not correctly executed and could cause injuries.

The Perfect Push-Up Start Position The push-up is all about using your core muscles. In the push-up start position your abs should be activated, your feet comfortably placed and your arms shoulder width apart. Your head should feel relaxed and keep your hips elevated so your body is almost horizontal. Keep everything strong - no slouching! |

The Perfect Push-Up Work Position In the push-up work position your abs should be activated, your feet comfortably placed and your arms shoulder width apart. Bend your elbows (feel those triceps) and take your chest towards the mat / floor. I would aim to take your chest about 10 -15cm from the mat (you may need to work up to this). Remember to keep your core strong and your hips elevated |

The Perfect Adjusted Push-Up Start Position In the push-up start position your abs should be activated, your knees comfortably placed and your arms shoulder width apart. I find crossing my knees gives me more balance - I also suggest using a sports mat so your knees are cushioned. Your head should feel relaxed and keep your hips elevated so your body is aligned. Keep everything strong - no slouching! |

Laughing tones your stomach and lowers your blood pressure. It’s scientifically proven! Even the concentration of salivary immunoglobulin A is raised by laughing – guarding our respiratory tract from infection – but that in itself isn’t very funny.
