Health Benefits of holding your nose while drinking.

I had a whole pack of spirulina  and made juices packed with greens and minerals , the only problem was the difficulty getting them in to my system on a regular basis , the problem the taste, the spirulina drinks and some of my green vegtable juices just were too much for my taste buds, the flavor of spirulina is like mould or as described on the internet pond water. Some green vegtable juices just taste bitter and overpowering. Once they are in my system then they can go to work on doing the wonders to my body and health, but not able to get them in there because im struggling to force it down my neck.

Then i thought of an old trick where if you hold your nose while drinking you can’t taste whats in your mouth, or you can taste it but only just very subtle taste ie a bitter feeling or sour feeling in the mouth. Now using this trick i can easy consume large amounts of green juice and using the holding the nose technique its as though I’m only drinking a glass of water. the taste is the hurdle , use this trick to get past that.  Think that it interferes with the taste receptors, stop the bitter taste of vegetable juices or the odd taste of some other health drinks.

Now ive got no excuse . Kids show showing the same thig enjoy.

Put on some relaxing music and spend an hour on the floor. Stretching and relaxing. Giving your legs a good Stretching, the videos and image will give you and idea of how to stretch your legs.

Not in English ,but using these techniques to open up the range of motion in the hips, i particularly like the slapping on the legs and feet and massaging the toes. Spent 45 Min’s gong through these exercises , think the thing to do is to relax in to the range of motion and also alternate with active tensing of the muscles in use. Stretching my legs out on the floor but also tensing and flexing the calf and leg muscles. Think this relaxes the muscles and also builds in the use of action in those new positions its about building up the leg strength for flexibility. When stretching to new angles the legs have not been used in those positions before so the muscles are not only stretched and tight , they also haven’t got much understanding or muscle memory with what to do in these new positions practice some kick moves. So while outstretched , wiggle the toes rotate the feet , swing round the legs in circles , give the legs something to do while in the new positions. So not only is the flexibility built in to the muscle use and range of motion is also built in. I also find that having a resistance band helps with holding and strengthen some of the kick stretching positions

Hi i am currently learning to throw kicks and roundhouse kicks, my stretching is fine and im loose but as soon as i start to throw kicks i have sharp tension and aches in my hip area. How long does it take before i have the full range of motion in my hips and can throw high kicks with out this jolt of pain?

How to improve the height and power of your martial arts kicks,

Back kicks are a powerful kick , what i am trying to learn is how to increase the range and motion of my kicks, my leg kicks although have enough power to defend myself, the muscles on the back of my legs still feel tights and the speed and range of motion need allot of practice.

Kick power is generated by the speed and force of a kick to the opponent, and to be able to have this power and speed you need to be in control of the balance and position of your body to enable the kick to move through the full range of motion and connect at full force. By being flexible with the spinning kick, you can easily use this spinning motion to hit the target in either the legs , ribs head or arms.

A strong spinning kick to the leg or knee of the opponent may be all it takes to finish the fight and escape from danger.  My current routine for improving the height and power of my martial arts and kick boxing kicks are using technique if have found on these videos from Youtube. Using a wall to stretch my legs out and using chairs and other objects to place my feet and stretch out.  Also taking time a kicking programme sould not be rushed , allowing at least an hour to build the range of motion in to my hips and legs. Often holding kick positions against the wall so that the kick moves and balance can be developed.

Although im all on doing my upper body workout dips and chinups to get back some of my natural power, these dudes take raw animal strength and human potential and show you how it can be done, this is pure upper body strength callisthenics’s . Though if they got in some trees i think a few of these guys would fall to the ground. Park working out using the children’s play area as an adult fully functional gym. When they built this park and swings for kids they created a set of challenges to be overcome. Dips pullups and hood workouts were soon to follow, its not about giving someone a push on the swing , not its about cranking out planch and L-sits on the slide. Still think if you let monkeys loose in a place like this they would come up with a few exercises that even these guys would find impressive

A well balanced routine before combat training, this is a good whole body stretching and flexibility routine before going in to a sports combat or MMA training session, even just doing this kind of routine throughout the day to keep limber and supple is very positive, you don’t want to be all tight all the time and only loosen up 20 mins before training , the idea is to always keep limber and flexible so that your body adapts and learns to function better, a good warm up routine also preps the mind and coordination. This routine gets you on the floor and works all the major muscle and ligament groups in the body. Before throwing full force punches allow the arms and body to go through some of the movements at a slower more controlled pace to build fluidity and muscle memory in to the action. Also even if your all beat up from the gym or the ring allow a few sessions of stretching and warmup after so that nothing stiffens up.

Dynamic movement, your gonna move your gonna sprawl. Be like a lizard or a slippery eel learn to wriggle and twist and this will get you out of more situations.
