LEARN TO JUMP – IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
What sounds like a marketing ploy is actually an old but forgotten truth. Jumping as an activity, as an exercise, is one of the three basic ones that are considered "the natural physical movement" of a human being. Those "natural movements", running, jumping, throwing, and other natural activities collectively called "Track and Field" were part of the Olympic Games since the beginning.
Jumping as a movement is listed along with other natural human movements, but the effect that it has on the human body, puts jumping in a league of it's own. Compared to other athletic activities, the effects of jumping have a very wide spectrum and some are rather unexpected and great.
We will save it for another article to describe the full extent of all the benefits of jumping as an exercise, and we'll just say that if everyone included jumping in their work out regimen, we'd see more well balanced, graceful, coordinated, well proportioned and well built people regardless of the body type, with much better athletic results, more satisfaction from sports and consequently better self-esteem and higher goals.
The act of jumping puts more pressure on the body than running, and running is notorious for it's impact on the human body when done wrong. So the key to receiving 100% of the benefits and none of the harmful effects is to get a handle on your skill of jumping.
If you learn how to jump and do it with the pose method, you will avoid injuries, avoid the impact on your body and actually rip the benefits of such a fun and essential activity as jumping. Pose Running, a part of the Pose family of techniques, was already
scientifically proven to reduce impact on knees by 50%. It is only a matter of performing the research, to demonstrate and prove that the Pose Jumping technique also reduces the load on the body, not just the knees.
The essence of the
Pose Method is harmonious work with natural forces not against them. Jumping is traditionally described as and referred to as an "anti-gravity" exercise. That is a part of the problem – an incorrect understanding of the subject.
The Pose Method of Jumping teaches how to jump with the help of gravity and achieve the best results ever.
