Experimenting with exercise and food and water may lessen the power of some health problems. When you feel better, pay attention to what you recently changed in your lifestyle. That's listening to your body.

In order to target your exercises toward improvement in a specific area, you must listen to your body, try some exercises, notice which muscles activate with which exercises, and stay aware of changes that might happen in distant parts of the body also. It is an exercise in understanding cause and effect.

Through targeted exercises, some have made changes for the better in these areas.

Hair thickness and quality

Eyesight

Complexion

Facial tone and glow

Sinus clearing

Vocal quality

Tooth and gum strength

Posture

Digestion

Continence

Colon action

Energy and endurance

Body weight and shape

Joint function

Immune function

For quick and noticeable results, pay special attention to these. Use the "Slow & Hold" principle moving through all ranges of motion, and holding for ten seconds or more at the extreme limit of movement. Resistance is good even if only gravitational or isotonic.

Tighten abdomen -- Gives your organs a hug and muscular support. Multiplies the muscle-building effects of many other exercises if done at the same time.

Tighten PC muscle -- Strengthens the floor upon which your internal organs depend. May lessen incontinence, constipation, diarrhea.

Smile with eyes -- Call it a smile or a glare, but do activate the conjunctiva by tightening the muscles that hold the eyes in place. May help visual focus and ENT clearing.

Wait before inhaling -- Gives the lungs a rest, lets them clear mucus and stale air. Encourages efficient oxygen uptake and good circulation.

Move and stretch eyes and tongue -- Improves speech diction and tone. Tends to clear sinuses. May stall aging in vision. May encourage scalp health and hair regrowth. Improves face and neck muscle tone for fewer wrinkles and sags.

When I was young I thought exercise had to be fierce and fast in order to be effective. I ran up mountains and mowed lawns at a speedwalk.

Then I learned a principle that has made an immense difference in my life. Fast reps create aerobic benefits; slow reps with resistance create muscles.

In my youthful zeal I was actually able to deplete muscles with over-exertion and under-nutrition. Since then, I've been priviledged to be able to rebuild muscles.

So here are some benefits I have learned from what I call the "Slow and Hold Principle" in exercise. Aim for slow, smooth, range-of-motion movements against resistance, even if only gravitational or isotonic resistance. Also hold at tension for ten seconds or more in order to activate the benefits.

The "Slow and Hold Principle," used against resistance:

Builds muscle tone and density

Squeezes out fat and toxins

Increases circulation

Shapes bones

Increases bone density

Can have aerobic benefits
