KEY FACT: EXERCISE WITH INTENSITY AND MOVE WITH PROPER TECHNIQUE AND AWARENESS: YOU WILL BECOME LEANER AND INJURIES WILL HEAL.
Our bodies are designed for natural movement patterns e.g. running, fighting, lifting. We evolved in an environment where we needed to do intense short exertion with lots of rest or 'active recovery' in between. We might have hunted, fought, run away etc. and then spent the afternoon sitting under a tree or gathering berries....

Key Skills
Other Holiday Activities
Get lean: For leanness the key is intensity: the more intense the exercise, the more lactic acid is produced and the more human growth hormone is released. Human growth hormone is responsible for burning fat and building muscle.
Get pain free: The movements that you do most often: standing, walking, running, or whatever sport you do e.g. biking, are those which will have most effect on your body. Doing certain stretches or isolated exercises may help to alleviate pain but you have to change your movement patterns to change the load to your structure and therefore heal or prevent injuries.
